[members-discuss] Clarifications on NRO Letter to Mauritian Government

Hi Randy:

The very base of your Email is factually wrong.

The very fact that Cloud Innovation just won a judgement on a
preliminary point raised BY AFRINIC means it was AFRINIC delayed case to
this day.

https://cloudinnovation.org/press-release5.html

"An interlocutory judgment was delivered by the Honourable Judge in
Chambers of the Supreme Court of Mauritius on 19 July 2022 in favour of
Cloud Innovation,* setting aside the preliminary objection raised by
AFRINIC.* "

And since the base of your argument that "cloud innovation trying to use
delaying tactics" is factually wrong, the rest of your assumption follows
that base is naturally wrong.

If you call Eddy's action of asking the Telecommunication Union to appoint
the director of RIR and in the attempt to bypass the member based election
as "positive step", then I believe you and I's ideology are so far apart
there is not much for us to discuss.

I still believe, and hope, the global RIR community will not abandon its
funding principles, bottom up, and community driven.

If you would like to join Eddy's new initiative of joining the government,
appoint RIR directors with attached immunity to protect its illegal action
from rule of laws, and turn RIR into what ITU once proposed as an
intergovernmental body, you are welcome to state it publically.

As for suspension, the law is clear:

Managing Director

(a) The directors may appoint one or more members of the Board to the
office of managing director for such period and on such terms as they think
fit and, subject to the terms of any agreement entered into in any
particular case, may revoke that appointment.
*(b) Where a managing director ceases to be a director for any reason
whatsoever, his appointment shall automatically lapse.*
