[arin-ppml] AFRINIC And The Stability Of The Internet Number Registry System

[Christian Orozco]

Hello John,

Thank you for your willingness to address questions that I might have.

I just want to mention that I am very much aware of the article. Thus, I
understand well the position of ARIN on this issue. There is no question on
ARIN's support for AFRINIC and I do appreciate the concept of mutual
support that the RIRs are upholding.  However, your statements on Mr Lu
could be easily misinterpreted by people who have not understood well how
CI is able to provide trusted service to millions of end-users. It seems
unnecessary to put him and his business in such a bad light, knowing that
you clearly mentioned as well that the community must not make
judgements/assumptions as we are waiting for the court's decision.


Regards,
Christian
