<div>
<div>Hi all,<br>
<br>
</div>
Well lets not confuse silence with agreement and seeing the unpleasant sentiments...one cant really blame some for keeping quiet.<br>
<br>
</div>
I for one will <u><b>support</b></u> the policy because there is no such policy to deal with such a scenario in the first place and the longer we stay without one the more vulnerable we become. So I like to think I see the logic in the arguments for the proposal
however there is s greater danger in having NO measure or policy in place rather than have a perfect one in place when it is too late.
<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Additionally I am born and bred in Africa around the Lake Victoria and while I too like to use and heavily rely on the Internet; the fact is I am still in the minority and I too would like to see my kids enjoy it as well as a neutral place with equal opportunities.
So when it comes to this discussion where I am not that <u>articulate or technical</u> to express my concern as to what I think
<u>is happening</u> and I have seen happen <u>before</u> let me borrow the Nile Perch as an example,
<br>
<p style="margin-left:40px"><i>The Nile perch was <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduced_species" title="Introduced species">
introduced</a> to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Victoria" title="Lake Victoria">
Lake Victoria</a> in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Africa" title="East Africa">
East Africa</a> in the 1950s,<sup id="gmail-cite_ref-5" class="gmail-reference"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nile_perch#cite_note-5">[5]</a></sup><sup id="gmail-cite_ref-6" class="gmail-reference"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nile_perch#cite_note-6">[6]</a></sup>
and has since been fished commercially. It is attributed with causing the extinction or near-<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinction" title="Extinction">extinction</a> of several hundred native species, with some populations
fluctuating with commercial fishing and the actual Nile perch stocks. The Nile perch initially fed on native
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cichlid" title="Cichlid">
cichlids</a>, but with decreasing availability of this prey, it now consumes mainly small
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrimp" title="Shrimp">
shrimp</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnow" title="Minnow">
minnows</a>. The fish's introduction to Lake Victoria was ecologically disruptive ..</i></p>
</div>
<div></div>
<div>Well business has adjusted and gone on as usual and I am not saying I don't eat fish (read:
<i>use the Internet</i>) now...but for me who grew up around the shores of Lake Victoria..I
<u>do sorely miss</u> the other varieties as they have now become a rarity and a luxury (<i>a reserve for the rich</i>)...so if we use the logical argument that caters for the foreseeable thinkable future the net result is that those who are not empowered or
enlightened at this point will not have a chance to do so when they do ripen. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Maybe it is a charity and is starting at home ...but I would think the natives be allowed a chance to also own, develop and flourish in their own (<i>now special</i>) environment as children of the land and that to me would define
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10pt; color:black">"<i>benefit the community</i>"</span>. I would be wrong as there is no guarantee that they will actually end up allocated to this group down the road but would rather take and start with what stalls the
consumption for now. <br>

<div>More details on this fish:<br>
</div>
<div>
<p>Adult Nile perch occupy all habitats of a lake with sufficient <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen" title="Oxygen">
oxygen</a> concentrations, while juveniles are restricted to shallow or nearshore environments. A fierce
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predator" title="Predator" class="gmail-mw-redirect">
predator</a> that dominates its surroundings, the Nile perch feeds on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish" title="Fish">
fish</a> (including its own species), <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crustaceans" title="Crustaceans" class="gmail-mw-redirect">
crustaceans</a>, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insect" title="Insect">
insects</a>; the juveniles also feed on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zooplankton" title="Zooplankton">
zooplankton</a>. Nile perch use <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoaling_and_schooling" title="Shoaling and schooling">
schooling</a> as a mechanism to protect themselves from other predators.</p>
<p>Nile perch have been introduced to many other lakes in Africa, including <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Victoria" title="Lake Victoria">
Lake Victoria</a> (see <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nile_perch#Lake_Victoria_introduction">
below</a>) and the artificial <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Nasser" title="Lake Nasser">
Lake Nasser</a>. The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IUCN" title="IUCN" class="gmail-mw-redirect">
IUCN</a>'s (World Conservation Union) Invasive Species Specialist Group considers
<i>L. niloticus</i> one of the world's 100 worst invasive species.</p>
<p>The state of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queensland" title="Queensland">
Queensland</a> in Australia levies heavy fines on anyone found in possession of a living Nile perch, since it competes directly with the native
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barramundi" title="Barramundi">
barramundi</a>, which is similar and grows to 1.8 meters (5 ft 11 in) long while the Nile Perch grows to 2 meters (6 ft 7 in) long.</p>
<p>The species is of great commercial importance as a food fish. The Nile perch is also popular with sport
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing" title="Fishing">
anglers</a>, as it attacks artificial <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing_lure" title="Fishing lure">

<p>Yes. They are having their voice heard on the RPD, but the question is, if they haven't signed up on the RPD, are they hearing other peoples voices?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>Remember, you are either participating on the RPD, or at the face to face meeting which is the climax of the PDP process. I wonder if these "ISPs" have been following the discussion on the list, and how the decisions where taken. I have no problem with someone
protesting or appealing the decision of the co-chairs. However, they should give themselves the benefit of the doubt and participate in the processes that climaxed to the final rough consensus.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>> What the pdp says is that thoughts should be heard on the list - or at the microphone - nowhere does it state that communication to the list cannot be formal - nowhere does it state it cannot be in a pdf - nowhere does it state that it cannot be signed.<br>
><br>
> The process is being followed - the communication is via the RPD list - and if this violates the process please can someone point to chapter and verse as to where in the process? Once I have it I will go back to the larger block and explain to them that
Afrinic’s process has decided to try and implement a policy that could damage their businesses and this industry while at the same time refusing to let them be heard on the issue - in the forum they were meant to be heard in - because they chose to do it via
a signed letter rather than get abused on a list with vague statements of Neo-colonialism and such.<br>
><u></u><u></u></p>
<p>Going back to a "larger group" and explaining to them things, may not be the right way to go. Why should they not hear for themselves and judge for themselves. What is wrong with them signing up for a list and participating for themselves. With all due respect,
I really think they should sign up on the List and even if they wish to put up a signed document, they are free to do so. My personal opinion please.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>> Be curious to see how that plays out<br>
