However, there's a lot at stake in AFRINIC's current situation. How certain are you that mere financial donation can suffice the challenge AFRINIC is facing? We should now be more attentive in keeping the internet's stability. And by that, we cannot just presume that AFRINIC will be able to go back on its feet easily and partake in such stability.</div><br class=""><br class=""></div></div><br class=""><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Aug 5, 2021 at 3:03 PM Noah <<a href="mailto:noah@neo.co.tz" class="">noah@neo.co.tz</a>> wrote:<br class=""></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto" class=""><div class=""><br class=""><br class=""><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, 5 Aug 2021, 07:05 Brian Sowers, <<a href="mailto:b.sowers154@gmail.com" target="_blank" class="">b.sowers154@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br class=""></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"> The court is simply adjourning a week and a half later to deliberate again. </blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto" class=""><br class=""></div><div dir="auto" class="">Legal proceedings are never rushed. </div><div dir="auto" class=""><br class=""></div><div dir="auto" class=""><br class=""></div><div dir="auto" class=""><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">I appreciate this update from Eddy, but it doesn’t offer any hope to pro-AFRINICs other than a false optimism that AFRINIC builds an argument in the meantime to be even able to access its own funds.</blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto" class=""><br class=""></div><div dir="auto" class="">Perhaps you missed all the Pro-AFRINIC public statements that various African Internet bodies made in support of AFRINIC.</div><div dir="auto" class=""><br class=""></div><div dir="auto" class="">AFRINIC might not be able to access its own funds today but that does not mean that there are no other alternatives.</div><div dir="auto" class=""><br class=""></div><div dir="auto" class="">AFRINIC during her inception in the earlier days had no money.
