Yep ... I just saw your email. I don't know why (asked staff several times), I always get the emails from AFRINIC lists 10-15 minutes late (even my own emails). I'm sure is not my server, as it doesn't happen to me with several hundreds of other lists from IETF, ISOC, and all the other RIRs, to mention just a few!

I don't have any stance on this game, but if I was CI, this will be the best way to probe my points. it seems 4 minutes earlier I suggested same to Owen. > Otherwise, I will suggest that AFRINIC asks the court to incorporate that in the proceedings if is not there already, this way, whatever is the result of the case, everybody will know it. At least in the countries I know, the results of the cases are public, as well as the documents that were incorporated during all the process: transparency. I don't know whether or not (under the Mauritius legal system) the information/documents will become public. I certainly would like to have AfriNIC ask the courts to consider them. I was hoping that was clear from my previous emails.
