<div dir="ltr">I do not understand what is wrong with some members on this list. Their actions show they want to kill AFRINIC.
<div>If they are not in support of sustainability - why don't they move to the other regions where they want to migrate or want the region to take over AFRINIC. </div>
<div>In the history of the creation of AFRINIC, AFRINIC was created to manage Resources that were designated to Africa. </div>
<div>So, those who want to use African resources in other regions, let them leave African resources and look for resources in those respective regions.</div>
<div>Otherwise, we are seeing IP colonialism, theft and robbery in broad daylight.</div>

One pressing question that may undermine this “initiative”: has AFRINIC agreed to this process? While this is an initiative from certain resource members in the community, there needs to have been explicit consent from AFRINIC because it cannot fully account
for these donations if ever. Who has received this consent from AFRINIC to push through with this initiative?<br clear="none">
