<p>Dear PDWG Chairs,</p>
<p>Is this still the policy discussion working group?<br>
</p>
I'm not sure any more who is welcome here and who can say what?<br>
<br>
Kangamutima zabika Christophe asked for names of companies providing
internet services, maybe didn't like the list so brings up new
issues. These have in my opinion noting to do with AfriNIC policy. <br>
<br>
Since I don't understand enough French, I have to wonder whether
Google translate is conveying the message correctly here.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

<div>Primo, tu n'a répondu qu'une de mes questions, secundo, ce
que tu appelles entreprises africaines, est-ce des sociétés
détenus par des africains d'origine? En plus, tous ces pseudo
anges du monde de la téléphonie implantée en Afrique sont
malheureusement les leaders de tous les abus, toutes les
transgressions de réglementations. Le problème est de savoir
s'ils servent réellement aux intérêts du continent? L'une des
sociétés parmi celles que tu as cité a même financé 2 guerres en
Afrique. Je comprends que tu sème à tout vent où tu peux te
procurer du lucre, un bon salaire tout en foutant de ce que sont
réellement ces mastodontes dont tu as cité. Malheureusement ce
sont des sangsues qui s'emploient à siphonner le marché
africain.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Si tu pouvait autant les défendre en matière de politique
salariale, de civisme fiscal ou de bonne gouvernance que tu les
fais pour l'attribution des ressources numériques ce serait
l'idéal. Quel est leur part sur le développement réel de
l'Afrique? Lorsqu'ils ne sont pas commanditaires d'actions
malveillantes provenant de nos dirigeants, ils y participent
comme complice ou co-auteur. Alors arrête de nous faire cette
morale. Moi je comprends pourquoi cette réaction mais je ne peux
le dire sur ce forum de peur de subir encore la censure du
modérateur comme c'était le cas la semaine dernière.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Si nous voulons développer, nous les vrais africains nous
devons plutôt lutter contre le joug des entreprises que tu as
cité. Et je pense que pour tous mes frères soutenant vos propos,
je ne pourrais que me rappeller de ces paroles de SAMORA MACHEL.
"Le jour où vous entendrez les blancs parler de moi en bien, ce
jour-là, ne partagez plus vos secrets avec moi, car cela
voudrait dire que je vous aurais déjà trahis".</div>

<div style="direction:ltr;">Oh how little you seem to
know of the market - which are these big international
non African ISPs you refer to?</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="direction:ltr;">The big players on this
continent are majority African companies - some of
them may have gone global - and may even have been
acquired by international interests (NTT’s acquisition
of Dimension Data for example), but at the same time -
African companies have acquired international
companies operations in Africa (MTN bought out Verizon
South Africa - and MTN is an African company)</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="direction:ltr;">It does not change the fact
that IS and Dimension Data were founded and built in
Africa and are African companies</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="direction:ltr;">Liquid is an African company
- do your home work if you dispute that.</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="direction:ltr;">MTN - one of the largest
mobile providers on the planet - is an African company</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="direction:ltr;">Wananchi Group - an African
company</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="direction:ltr;">In Kenya - 28 billion
dollars was transacted through MPESA in 2015 - MPESA
which is owned by Safaricom - which is an African
Company.</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="direction:ltr;">Econet - an African company</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="direction:ltr;">Naspers - who also owned
MWEB before it was acquired - is an African company</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="direction:ltr;">Kwesi - an African company</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="direction:ltr;">The list is very long - do
your homework a bit - what this policy does though is
put the African companies on the back foot - it
ensures that those that have the ability to buy space
on the secondary market will have resources they can
deploy in Africa to take out markets - while African
companies that cannot get space due to lack of
transfer policy and cannot get space because it is
locked up in some bizarre attempt to extend the life
of a finite resource into infinity dot unable to
compete in their own market because we deny our own
success stories the resources they need to grow
further</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="direction:ltr;">Effectively - what we are
doing is penalizing African success - and encouraging
non African companies to come and take our markets.
Not hugely smart in my view</div>

pays. Dans tel cas, nous devrions avoir un texte
unique régissant cette matière et ratifié par tous
les Etats faisant partie de la couverture
géographique d'AFRINIC (ça pourrait être un traité
international, une charte comme celle des Nations
Unies) mais dans le cas d'Afrinic il y a quand
même une bouillabaisse juridique. Parceque tous
les pays n'ont peut être pas le même entendement
d'une notion comme la position dominante abusive
en matière de gestion des ressources numériques.

I understand your reasoning perfectly, firstly
due to the legal form adopted by AFRINIC, it
must be a supranational organization with a seat
in Mauritius but currently it is a non-profit
organization registered in Mauritius.<br>
My problem would be first the applicability of
such a decision and the premature nature of this
action because it is still only a draft policy.
AFRINIC manages resources that can be allocated
to applicants residing in a set of countries. In
such a case, we should have a single text
governing this matter and ratified by all the
States forming part of AFRINIC's geographical
coverage (it could be an international treaty, a
charter like the one of the United Nations) but
in the case of Afrinic there is still a legal
bouillabaisse. Because all countries may not
have the same understanding of a notion like the
abusive dominant position in the management of
digital resources. And the judgment that this
court will make, will be made on the basis of
the procedure of elaboration of the policies of
Afrinic or on the basis of a similar text in
force in Mauritius?</span></p>

to clarify,</p>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:0.0001pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:0.0001pt;">You
are incorrect in your assessment. You are
correct that Mauritian law only effects those
domiciled in Mauritius EXCEPT:</p>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:0.0001pt;"> </p>
<ol type="a">
<li style="margin-left:0cm;">AFRINIC is
domiciled in Mauritius – and subject to
Mauritian law in all actions.</li>
<li style="margin-left:0cm;">The Mauritian
competitions act states explicitly that it
reserves the right to sanction companies who
are in violation of anti-trust outside of
its borders (I would presume this would mean
that said companies may find themselves
barred from doing business in Mauritius –
but it’s a little unclear)</li>
<li style="margin-left:0cm;">If AFRINIC’s
actions as a Mauritian domiciled company run
afoul of Mauritian law – it is that law that
they are subject to – irrespective of where
those actions are taken.</li>
</ol>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:0.0001pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:0.0001pt;">Yes
– theoretically – AFRINIC could move to
another country – however – that would
probably not be looked at terribly favourably
by the Mauritian entities – companies that
deliberately try to evade the law end up with
directors in lots of hot water. Furthermore –
the MoU that AFRINIC signed to create itself,
if I remember correctly, explicitly states
that it will be domiciled in Mauritius and
lists a ton of reasons why – changing that –
would not be simple.</p>

us test this now – if myself and the other

one has anything to be scared of – however –
the time for that test is nigh – let us see</p>

là on se retrouve dans une berezina. Ceux
qui se sont investis à imposer leur vision,
faute d'avoir réussi, s'adresse maintenant à
une juridiction mauricienne. Une fois
encore, se pose la question de la qualité de
cette juridiction de statuer sur une cause
concernant l'ensemble des pays africains et
une partie de l'océan indien. Si cette cour
à une compétence nationale, le verdict
qu'elle rendra concernera t elle seulement
les ressources numériques qui seront
allouées dans sa zone d'influence
c'est-à-dire l'Ile Maurice (au cas où elle
ordonnait l'abrogation de cette proposition
de politique)? En plus, peut-on ester en
justice contre un projet de loi ou une
proposition de règlement non encore ratifiée
ou promulguée? Tout ceci dénote une
procédure un peu cavalière, corollaire d'un
acharnement non justifié contre la décision
prise par le groupe de travail dirigé par
les 2 co-présidents. Concernant les lois de
mon pays, aucune juridiction d'Ile Maurice
n'a ni la compétence matérielle encore moins
la compétence territoriale de juger une
cause portant sur les modalités
d'attributions des ressources numériques
destinés entr'autres à des requérants
résidents en République Démocratique du
Congo (surtout que nous sommes affiliés à
l'OHADA pour le droit des affaires).
Concernant, toute ressource pouvant être
allouée à une entité ou personne vivant en
RDC, toute décision prise par cette
juridiction serait de nul effet.</p>

lang="EN-US">It is a sad day when it
comes to this – but due to the
significant business risks imposed by
the potential ratification of the
soft-landing policy, and the boards
lack of response to repeated queries
as to AFRINIC’s violation of Mauritian
law – the time has come to now test
these potential violations and to see
if there is any recourse.</span></p>

<p

lang="EN-US">Since this document
contains direct reference to issues of
policy that would normally fall under
the RPD – I am sending this to the
list. Those who wish to join the
petition to the competitions tribunal
can print this – sign it – and scan it
back to me. This document will be
submitted to the competitions tribunal
within the next 14 days – to give
people a chance to digest its contents
and decide for themselves if they
believe they wish to be party to this
action.</span></p>

the competitions tribunal – any
signatory on these documents will be
confidential and the names of the
complainants will not be disclosed to
AFRINIC – so there is no risk of
victimization here. Any signed copies
received by myself shall be held in
strictest confidence other than for
the purposes of submission to the
commission.</span></p>

potential litigation against AFRINIC

that such is warranted.</span></p>
