I understand that every region has different policies. However isn't AFriNIC serviced via ARIN? And as such if all other RIR's have distinct policies, as well as distinct policy determination practices and/or policies for making policy determinations than it would seem logical that in AFriNIC's case it should have the same minimal allocation policy as ARIN does. If not, than I and still trying to understand why not, and than secondly what are the criterion for determining policy(s) are used that justifies a different minimal allocation policy for AFriNIC vs ARIN in this instance other than AFriNIC just asking for a different minimal allocation in an open and transparent manner. Is therefore by just asking, a minimal allocation policy for AFriNIC also applicable to other RIR's? If not, why not? If so, than is there any structure by which any allocation or other policies determined by.
I think that you should at least a) Follow Gert's advice and read up on the documentation and discussions that led to this decision in the first place. See mail archives and minutes from previous address-policy WG meetings. b) Please read up on the service regions of the RIRs and the history of AfriNIC. You mail above is simply so out of the blue it's hard to reply to without giving you a full training on RIRs. - - kurtis - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 8.1 iQA/AwUBQYIRUKarNKXTPFCVEQKPqwCbBOwTLNzOOi6w65hXaHmbghX5B2gAoPZU 9Eak66R0yY4KzKBpc7PdPeoZ =6nRu -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
