ARIN does not normally comment on disputes or related litigation occurring at another RIR, but this matter has become quite different, as it is both highly public and has potential for significant impact to the overall stability of the Internet number registry system and thus to ARIN and its community.
Perhaps what's needed is for parties to be able to move their allocations to a different RIR if they don't like the service their incumbent RIR is providing.
I’d expect that for a court to freeze assets of AFRINIC there must be a very strong argument.
Indeterminate at this time, since a “Freezing Order" issued via ex party hearing doesn’t actually test the strength of the arguments, as the affected party is not present to respond. It is only when the case for the validation of the order is heard that the strength of the arguments could possibly be assessed. Note - the full list of cases filed are here <https://afrinic.net/court-cases <https://afrinic.net/court-cases>> for reference.
That's interesting, but that normally one would expect the bar for such and ex-parte order to be high. I'm not familiar with the Mauritius legal system; I do know it's some combination of common law and french law, but it's generally stable/impartial for business law. What we really need is a groklaw-type that could take this up. -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net
