Hi David Thanks for sharing this. So, its seems like Lu is continuing with his legal intimadations across other RIR regions.
Christopher Hawker, should not be intimidated. I was the first internet community members to be sued by Lu and I believe Amin was the second and Brian and Benedict cases followed across the AFRINIC region who also faced similar legal suits. Some of the defamation cases across various high courts have since been dismissed after over one year litigations and defending ourselves. I personally never thought of seeking support from anyone as no one came to offer it. But I remained positive with my legal counsel who was able to take up the case within my means and continued to legally represent me and defend me within my financial means. I believe the same is true for both Amin in Nigeria, Brian in Malawi and Benedict in TZ. We believe in what we stand for across Africa in as far as AFRINIC is concerned and it is worthwhile experience for the future of Africa for we understand how digital transformation has impacted out continent with the small IPv4 space that was allocated to us by IANA when AFRINIC was formed. We have managed to do something with it in the last decades to transform out continent and no bully shall deter us from the noble cause. In any case, all the best to Christopher Hawker and in case you need some ideas or references on how to go about Lu, please reach out.
