Rather, we merely wished to right<br> some wrongs and return to the people of Africa some valuable IP resources<br> critically needed for the ongoing development of the Internet in Africa.<br> Nonetheless, it would have been, I think, at least minimally respectful<br> if either AFRINIC or (now) RIPE had taken a moment to at least mention<br> our names and our very evident, abundant, and key contributions towards<br> exposing this whole huge mess. Neither organization, it seems, has thus<br> far elected to do so publicly.
