hi cedrick,

thank you for the note about the security status of my.afrinic, but 
that’s not really a matter for discussion here.  the real issue, is 
that there was a suggestion from your staff, to move from something that 
is considered secure (pgp) to something *less* secure (the my.afrinic 
portal)  and, whilst we appreciate your efforts to secure your portal, 
that does not make it better than me, having my own pgp key, and 
performing updates via pgp-signed mail.

unless there’s a common feeling otherwise?

please continue your work;  but for dbwg purposes, there are at least 
three, demonstrably human participants of this list and users of your 
database, that have said a loud “NO” to removing updates via signed 
mail.
