[rpd] Statement from Legal Counsel

Dear Noah,
Neither of the Co-chairs is subscribed to the Members list, as we do not
own a single IP.
The Members list is not an extension of the rpd. We only took into
consideration issues raised on the rpd mailing list.
We care about AFRINIC and to the best of our ability, we shall do what we
think is best for the community as directed by the community.
Can we please confirm some of these things rather than making a false
accusation on the mailing list?

Co-Chairs
