I applaud that people are thinking about the staff of AFRINIC not being paid and raising funds to keep them going. The thing that confuses me is how the logistics work with that. I wonder how the money that is donated on TESPOK's bank account in Kenya will end up in the bank accounts of AFRINIC staff in Mauritius while AFRINIC (who I presume must handle the payments to the staff, tax payments and such things) has its bank accounts frozen. Is it as easy as TESPOK paying the staff and taxes directly without going through AFRINIC's bank accounts? I think it would be good to know how the donated funds will be handled and how they will make life for AFRINIC staff better. To me this whole Game of Thr^W Lawsuits looks like a complex puzzle. I have no direct stake in this as I am not an AFRINIC member, so I don't expect anybody to feel like they have to answer me. But as a member of the global RIR community I am very interested to see what I can learn so I can put some pieces of that puzzle in the right place, so any education to help me learn more about this would be highly appreciated 🙂 Cheers!
