TESPOK is a professional organisation that many large and small ISPs including the Government of Kenya has entrusted since 2002. TESPOK and other partners have covered clearly what will happen to the funds and how the donations will be accounted for and the reports that will be made publicly available. Visit the TESPOK website and read and if you feel there is something missing, please let the volunteers in this endeavour know. trust that the board is doing everything they can – trust that the board is > prudent – trust that the board is sticking to fiduciary duty.

The ISP/IXP associations involved are self organised and will be accountable to the donors who will contribute to this fund. I hope this helps you from the self righteous confusion you may be having in terms of how the self-organised Af-IX partners will be ensuring that AFRINIC core functions continue to stay up and running. Cheers, Noah TISPA FWIW, the culture of donation is not alien in this part of the world. We donate to support weddings. We donate to support funerals. We donate to support pay for medical expenses. We donate to build community roads. Its our culture and we sure know how to hold each other accountable.
