[Lu Heng]

Hi Everyone:

Seun, one thing he was right, we does had an incident:) Cloud Innovation
had its IP hijacked, more than half a million, this year, Me, as the CEO of
the group of companies, made an public presentation about the case, and had
a though out discussion both in RIPE community as well as Afrinic community.

Here is the presentation:

And below is some feedback we received from RIPE community:

understood. More like this please!

Same presentation was shared with Afrinic community as well this year:

In which you can find minutes here:

You see, this is how things get the right attention without bothering
people in the wrong place, if you think the abuse case you are facing are
unique in technical nature, than share it in an technical conference,
policy mailing list are for policy only.

I hope above clarify things, our company has the most strict policy towards
not only spam, but Emailing service in General, aside from few of our own
mail servers, we do not operate any Email related service, even though we
operate rather large prefix, our blacklist rate are lowest amount most
similar size ISPs.

We stay committed to help African community's future growth as well as zero
abuse on Afrinic's precise resource.

Hope above helps.

With regards.

Lu
