this situation is not something unforeseen. this whole AfriNIC issue has
been brewing up for years… this letter could have been discussed before it
became an emergency

on the other hand, the letter, the tone, what it suggests… that is a big
thing that may ruin reputation worked and fought for decades.

Question for CK and HPH: Is there such a thing as an ‘International
Organization’ in the Dutch Law? Has the RIPE NCC requested such status for
itself before asking it for another RIR?

PS: I still think I am in a simulation or a dream. This text should not
have been written, corrected, approved, signed. Never ever! What right does
the NRO have to speak on behalf of the ‘African regional community’ on such
harsh terms?

‘It would be very unfortunate for the African regional community if the
above situation proves that the designation of Mauritius as the place to
locate AFRINIC has been wrong.’
