Jordi is not the one who is confused here. Democracy != Transparency. Transparency is a prerequisite to democracy. That’s exactly what he has said each time after his first post which contained an unfortunate and inaccurate equivalency. If you prefer it in mathematical terms, transparency is a

Hi Arnaud, As explained, in my opinion, the basis of the democracy is transparency. You can’t trust a country being democratic if there is no transparency. We probably agree that after that trasparency, there are many other steps to build democracy, and that’s the reason why there are

Owen, I think you have a problem and you are against the existence of AFRINIC. Democracy is different from Open communication to the community. AFRINIC is a membership driven organisation and it's an obligation for the community to get reports on what transpired in the courts which have thus

Hi Jordi, What does democracy have to do with this? each country has its rules and as others said, AFRINIC and its lawyers should look for ways of disclosing their submission on this case. I do think Mauritius is more democratic than many countries on the continent where you live… they just have

Hi Jordi I also find it unusual - but I am not sure either you or I are in a position to opine. Amreesh gave a perfectly reasoned explanation of what *might* be the case and I am not sure that arguing the issue changes anything. Maybe you can go argue the issue with the Mauritian Competition

And to add that, In fact AFRINIC is by extension a public institution by means of the resource members who operate through the mandate of the public across jurisdictions in which AFRINIC serves. If an entity is going to complain anonymously that is their business but this info ought to be public.

Thanks Amreesh I am guessing AFRINIC can waive confidentiality on its own submission - but cannot force the complainant or Commission to waive confidentiality. Hence my request to the CEO for AFRINIC to consider publishing its own submission, without any further demand :-) On Thu, 17 Feb 2022
