I’m just a young Congolese (BZV) citizen, and here is my own thoughts<br>
about this policy and your reactions. I’m a new ML member and this is<br>
my first email to any afrinic’s ML.<br><br>
Some of us live in more or less free countries, others under hidden<br>
dictatorships, and the rest of us in locked-down countries.<br><br>
This policy started from an idea, good or bad, based on the fact that<br>
Internet is sometimes shutdown in some countries, for good or bad<br>
reasons. Unfortunately, AFRINIC has NO POWER AT ALL on any<br>
governments, so we are trying to find a leverage.<br><br>
Like Tutu said, there is almost nothing we (as AFRINIC’s community)<br>
can do about it without collateral damages on citizens. Considering<br>
the fact that this Policy would be dangerous for citizens and nearly<br>
useless against governments, we should start a thread somewhere else<br>
to continue finding ideas.<br><br>
Unfortunately, only citizens of a country have the power to change<br>
things, legally and peacefully. Such citizens could organize a sit in<br>
(if it’s legal) in front of gov’s offices, write mass letters, do a<br>
peaceful walk or even create a local protesting group associating<br>
medias. Anyways, it won’t be AFRINIC’s business.<br>
