Dear Colleagues,
An anonymous complaint was lodged against AFRINIC in September 2021 at the Competition Commission of Mauritius ("CCM") pertaining to alleged anti-competitive conduct on the part of AFRINIC with respect to the transfer of resources.
The CCM had found no such restrictive business practice on the part of AFRINIC within the meaning of the Competition Act 2007, and the inquiry has been closed with no further action. This was documented in their letter dated 22 December 2021, Unfortunately, however, we cannot publicly share the CCM’s letter.
As a community-driven membership-based organisation, there are committees, working groups and processes set in place to address any issues that might need to be addressed.
We shall continue to collaborate with all institutions, government or otherwise, and continue to deliver on our functions as responsible Regional Internet Registry.
Kind Regards,
Eddy Kayihura,
Chief Executive Officer,
African Network Information Centre (AFRINIC)
