Dear Benjamin,

The purpose of the Foundation is to provide equal opportunities for the
general public to engage in Internet Policy making process.
Apart from AIS, we also sponsor our candidates to ICANN and other RIR
meetings. The foundation is open and fair; it welcomes everyone’s
participation, regardless of their gender, race, nationality and education
level. Our candidates come from different continents; from Africa, Asia,
Europe to America. Regarding this AIS meeting, our candidates not only come
from Nigeria, but also Congo, Uganda and other regions.

We introduced our fellowship programme to sponsor talented people to take
part in different RIR (Regional Internet Registry)’s meeting and engage in
policy-making discussion so as to help build a better Internet for future
generations. Many candidates interested in policy-making are students. They
can participate in these meetings with the support of the Foundation while
not worrying about their financial conditions.

The Foundation, as mentioned above is open and fair. We do not impose any
intention on our candidates. We encourage them to think and speak
themselves. This applies to all meetings - and this AIS is no exception. We
do not have any agenda or plans - the candidates act entirely on their own
behalf.

The Foundation is based in Hong Kong but we do not limit our scope to
China. The Internet is one - every part in the world concerns the
betterment of its development. We do not prioritize the interest of any
regions or country as we put the interest of the Internet as our top
priority. We do not set boundaries and limit ourselves to the benefits of
any particular regions.

The comments you made may potentially harm the foundation’s reputation.
Some of your comments, in fact, arouse unnecessary conflicts and
nationalism within the community. We sincerely urge you to think if the
comments you made are really for the good of the development of the
Internet. We reserve the rights to claim and take legal proceedings as a
result.
