Many thanks Dave for the update. This is still a better option for me. Having a hard reset for the institution and still keeping it's core functions which will eventually lead to having a good governance structure in 6 months is still better than loosing out from the courts pronouncements. I also like the statement attributed to the NRO today welcoming the court's decision. https://www.nro.net/nro-statement-on-appointment-of-an-official-receiver-fo… Regards, Caleb Ogundele On Fri, Sep 15, 2023, 5:41 PM <afri-discuss-request(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> wrote: > Send AFRI-Discuss mailing list submissions to > afri-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/afri-discuss > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > afri-discuss-request(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > afri-discuss-owner(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of AFRI-Discuss digest..." > Posting guidelines to ensure machine translations of emails sent to this > list are more accurate: > http://www.funredes.org/mistica/english/emec/method_emec/presentation.html#… > - - - - -Today's Topics: > > 1.
