Even Owen Delong, Lu Heng's unoffical chief lobbyist, as admitted that at least two of these four allocations where made without ANY review by the board at the time, and indeed, if you look back at the archives, and at the mailing list discussions that took place at the time, it was agreed at the time and in public that some of these allocations were made strictly and only on the basis of "staff" decisions, and that the board was not involved in the decision process AT ALL. I have personally interviewed knowlegable sources who have asserted to me privately that -none- of the four Cloud Innovation requests for IPv4 address space were ever reviewed by the board. So unless you have some different and conflicting information which might suggest that that is not true, I am going to go with that for now.... all four CI allocations were made strictly and only on the basis of "staff" decisions. That is my opinion, based on my interviews of knowlegable sources. >> The first two of these allocations were granted under CEO Akplogan, who >> did not leave his CEO position until January 31, 2015: >> >> https://afrinic.net/20140917-ceo-adiel-akplogan-resign > >I'm OK with this one too, but he already resigned before the allocation, >isn't it? Yes, Akplogan had resigned as of September 17, 2014, but he was still sitting in the captain's chair and he was still calling the shots until January 31, 2015. The 45.192.0.0/12 block was allocated to Cloud Innovation on December 1, 2014, after Akplogan's resignation but before his resignation became effective. https://afrinic.net/20140917-ceo-adiel-akplogan-resign If the ship of AFRINIC hit an iceberg... or perhaps multiple icebergs... and if it started taking on water, and if the lifeboats had to be deployed at any time prior to January 31, 2015, then I think it is clear who must ultimately be held responsible for that. Ignorance is never a valid excuse for a captain not to be aware that his ship is taking on water, especially when the lives or fortunes of so many others are depeding on him being awake and alert. >> The two later allocations were granted under CEO Barrett. > >If do so, how come New CEO gave 2 of /11 in such a short time? Good question! Maybe if we ever get to see the original justifications we may get to find out. But it appears that Lu Heng is not eager for anyone to see those documents, and I guess that he also doesn't want to even have to show those documents in court, which might explain why he and his many associates and sock puppets are so eager to drive AFRINIC into a early grave, before things ever even get that far in court where he might have to show his whole hand. >> ALL of the allocations were made during a time period when Ernest >> Byaruhanga was a high-ranking officer of AFRINIC. > >You're right on this one too. You say that as if there was ever any doubt. I'm not the guy who has been lying about stuff or hiding stuff. I am the guy who has found and told the straight truth, from the beginning. I can do that because I have no personal financial stake in any of these matters. My only motivation is to see justice prevail.
