Hi Ronald,
Yes, no doubt the other fish is more important now ... but all this is also
relevant for the case, and legal counsel may need to consider all that in front
of the Courts ...
The typical interpretation of the DPA is (from previous judgements): If your
email about the vacation spot is a "friend" recommendation, they it may be that
you only get a warning if I didn't offered to you my email as "friend", but you
captured it from a mailing list. However, if you're sending the email because
you have some "business", "commissions" or anything with that "promotion" of
the spot, then it is a spam, unless I've provided a previous and explicit
consent.
"selling" a Board candidate it is spam, no doubts. It is unethical, unmoral and
against the usage rules of the whois and mail exploders.
The whois is a database to know registered resources and be able to contact the
responsible people for matters related to that.
Even if the whois "rules" don't explicitly mention that, the GDPR is on top of
the whois rules which already said previous and explicit consent for a specific
matter.
According GDPR, if you have my email because you sell me fruits, and you decide
to start selling fish, you need my previous and explicit consent for spamming
me about the fish.
Regards,
Jordi

It may have escaped your attention Jordi, but I think that AFRINIC has
some rather bigger fish to fry at the moment.
More to the point, if I email you offline and tell you that I happen to
know of a great vacation spot in Barcelona that you may want to try out
some day, are you going to report me to the Spanish GDPR police?
At what point does the over-agressive interpretation and/or enforcement
of GDPR, either in Europe or in Mauritius, become nothing by a bad joke,
deserving of nothing but scorn and ridicule?
GDPR was written to respond to over-the-top absurdities like the revelations
about Facebook and their unholy relationship with Cambridge Analytica. It
was *not* written so that you could rat me out to the GDRP police when I
tell you and three other friends about my favorite restaurant.
>Also, it is against the usage terms of the whois and CoC.
Apparently, lots of things are against the CoC. I have been pointlessly
harassed merely because it is -alleged- that speaking ill of the Mauritian
judiciary is a violation of the CoC.
If we're all going to become bickering lawyers when it comes to such
small things, then I'd like to now assert *my* rights under both the
the United States First Amendment and also the entirely clear provisions
of the United Nation's Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 19,
to say whatever I damn well please about the Mauritian judiciary, and
without any further interference or improper chastisments on the part
of AFRINIC staff members who aren't lawyers but who nontheless like to
pretend that they are.

As regards to the WHOIS Terms & Conditions, show me the part that you
think was violated, and I'll show you how it doesn't mean what you
apparently think it means.
Regards,
rfg
