[afnog] A comment about backup plans

[Amin Dayekh]

Thank you for your email,

The claim of “contingency” was the explanation given to me by a brother
from that Region, he is a good lawyer for a bad and a failed case as the
insights and discussions were far from contingency and rather a plan to
Relocate, due to what can be interpreted as Mauritius hostility, in my
words i would put it like this.

Having served on different boards, I would like your answer to this:

1- was there any discussion at 2021-2022 to relocate afrinic to Rwanda? And
later on to Kenya?
2- there are talks about bank accounts in Kenya and another in Mauritius
whereby the members and allegedly ICANN sent support money! Is that true?
If true and valid, was there any audit to such accounts? Who had access to
the money how it was expensed and by whose authority?

I wish tgat you give straight forward answers !

There is a company also named 7 heaven or something whereby some of the
board members (old) and potential new that have been working there is this
true?
