Well, it is not exactly a secret that you are or have been employed by a certain not-really-african shell company, inccorporated in the "offshore" jurisdiction of the Seychelles Islands, and which has been vigorously contesting, via any any and every means possible, AFRINIC's decision to revoke its IPv4 allocations, for cause, including but not limited to litigation. It is also not hard to intuit that the vote buying scheme described in the video likely traces back to that same company -- a company that would seem to have reason to want to engineer a "hostile takeover" of the AFRINIC Board of Directors, again via any and every means available. Given that you do now work for this company, or that you have worked for this company in the relatively recent past, I must ask if your claimed total ignorance of this underhanded scheme is a result of your natural lack of curiosity, or if your state of ongoing abject ignorance of these matters may perhaps be the result of your deliberate desire not to know. In either case, I would ask that you make appropriate inquiries with your paymaster and get back to us in order to let the ARIN community know if there is any shred of truth to the rather stunning claim that a coordinated scheme to buy the votes of AFRINIC member organizations has in fact been put into effect. No hurry. We'll wait.
