[members-discuss] NRO letter to Mauritian Government

​There is huge difference between an 'International Organisation' and a local incorporated entity (such as RIPE, ARIN etc). The fact that you have a conversation with the Dutch government about sanctions does not make you an IO. And having a conversation with the Dutch government is very easy, so absolutely nothing to be impressed by.

The list of IO's The Netherlands recognises: https://www.government.nl/topics/international-organisations/multilateral-forums ​(RIPE is missing as it is 'just' an Association) 


https://uia.org/archive/types-organization/cc​​ gives a very detailed explainer about IO's. (The NGO part is of relevance here)


So writing a letter, asking Mauritius to view AFRINIC as an IO while non of the other RIR's are IO's, is a bit 'strange' and most likely not at all helpful.
