<div dir="ltr">Dear Paul,
<div>I am surprised by this. Why would you think it is in anyone's interest for AFRINIC to close shop. I can't imagine that. AFRINIC has come to stay like any of the other RIRs. Mistakes might have been made who knows ? but am sure it's not the end of the world.
Things can still be corrected and we end up with a win-win. </div>

<div>The concerns expressed by TISPA, as well as other concerned parties and especially by AFRINIC's own admission in the news outlet
<a href="http://lexpress.mu" target="_blank">lexpress.mu</a>, which is attached to this email, regarding the AFRINIC’s inability to keep providing its core registry functions due to its inability to meet its financial requirements.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I suggest that in order not hold end users, ISPs and any other business's hostage, for the interest of continue service of AFRINIC’s core registry service, we should urgently call for NRO fulfil their responsibility as well as commitment to the global
internet to take over AFRINIC’s registration service for the time being, until litigation is settled some time later.

<div><br>
</div>
<div>That way, no end user or business will ever impacted however results come out of litigation.<br>
