[AFRI-Discuss] AFRINIC is not undergoing liquidation. The Court has appointed a Receiver and hopefully Afrinic will be bacfk to normal.

[Nazar Nicholas]

Dear David,

Thank you for the update. The issue how do we determine if the receiver has
digital Africa’s interest at heart. There is a huge and dirty underhand
working to strip Africa of its IP resources.

What is happening in Mauritius is sickening!
