Hi Randy:
The very base of your Email is factually wrong.
The very fact that Cloud Innovation just won a judgement on a preliminary point raised BY AFRINIC means it was AFRINIC delayed case to this day.
"An interlocutory judgment was delivered by the Honourable Judge in Chambers of the Supreme Court of Mauritius on 19 July 2022 in favour of Cloud Innovation, setting aside the preliminary objection raised by AFRINIC. "
And since the base of your argument that "cloud innovation trying to use delaying tactics" is factually wrong, the rest of your assumption follows that base is naturally wrong.
If you call Eddy's action of asking the Telecommunication Union to appoint the director of RIR and in the attempt to bypass the member based election as "positive step", then I believe you and I's ideology are so far apart there is not much for us to discuss.
I still believe, and hope, the global RIR community will not abandon its funding principles, bottom up, and community driven.
If you would like to join Eddy's new initiative of joining the government, appoint RIR directors with attached immunity to protect its illegal action from rule of laws, and turn RIR into what ITU once proposed as an intergovernmental body, you are welcome to state it publically.
As for suspension, the law is clear:
Managing Director
(a) The directors may appoint one or more members of the Board to the office
of managing director for such period and on such terms as they think fit
and, subject to the terms of any agreement entered into in any particular
case, may revoke that appointment.
(b) Where a managing director ceases to be a director for any reason
whatsoever, his appointment shall automatically lapse.
