An update on the AfriNIC situation

Sun Aug 29 09:32:05 UTC 2021

+1 on the "pro" side to keep this topic in focus (even on the NANOG list).
The community can not accept a situation where someone successfully stale a RIR in order to max profit (probably on the expense of the other [local] LIRs).

I would very much like seeing updates on this matter here.

imho, regards
