    <p>All,  I'm sorry, but I do not support the sending of this letter
      right now.</p>
    <p>We have members - wonderful members - who were deeply involved in
      the work of saving AfriNIC. They really stood on the front lines
      working, writing, drafting amicus briefs for the court and truly
      working hard to keep the Supreme Court of Mauritius from
      dissolving AfriNIC.  </p>
    <p><i>One of our members is now on the Board of AfriNIC, and
        further, he was elected Chair of AfriNIC.  Before we do anything
        to hurt things -- why don't we do some more research?  Why don't
        we talk to our members (who may be taking a much needed rest as
        they are very quiet)?</i></p>
    <p>Questions and letters can hurt -- we've been warned by Anriette
      and I confirm. <i>Also, could someone please tell me who Alice is
        working for these days?  </i>It would be fair and useful to
      know.  </p>
    <p><i><b>Why the rush?  Let's wait until next week -- and take the
          time to talk with our own members and leaders. Let's not
          inadvertently hurt something new and growing -- let's wait for
          our members who are directly involved to work with us.  </b></i></p>
    <p>Best, Kathy</p>
