<pre><span style="font-size : 11.0pt; font-family : "Calibri", sans-serif; ">A recent statement on the AfriNIC members-discuss mailing list, in which the UbuntuNet Alliance and the other two African regional research and education networks purport to act "as representatives of the African REN community", was issued without consultation by UbuntuNet with TENET, and does not reflect TENET's position on the issue. TENET endorses without reservation the statement on this matter by the South African Internet Service Providers Association (<a href="https://ispa.org.za/press_releases/ispa-statement-on-recent-afrinic-developments/" target="_blank">https://ispa.org.za/press_releases/ispa-statement-on-recent-afrinic-developments/</a>) which was issued by ISPA after consultation with its members, of which TENET is one.</span></pre>
