Owen,

Your continous support to these controversies amuses me a lot.

You are rewarding people for time spent at the mic to create an engaged
community for a better PDP?

As you know, all the current active policies were discussed and ratified by
this community over the past 20 years and Larus Foundation was never there
when various proposals were drafted and deliberated, past volunteers
co-chaired the PPM and managed working groups on this list and over the
years through rough consensus, they got all the active policies today
ratified.

I am disgusted by this continued undermining of AfriNIC.
