There are four Regional Internet Registries which currently disclose information requests from government agencies. AfriNIC is unfortunately the only Regional Internet Registry which does not publish any information about such requests.

Referring to my email below, I didn’t say nor mention anywhere that AFRINIC refuses to make publicly information you are requesting below. For more clarity, we don’t have so far any script that may help AFRINIC team to auto-record such kind of information. However we will consider your need and revert back when we are able to generate these information.

Arthur
