<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>

Absolutely correct. The focus should be on CAIGA
proposal, which deviates from multistakeholder
principles, the new Afrinic board has very little to
do with that as far as I know. </div>
