Ok. I more wasn't sure if there are LIRs in Africa that won't be transfered to AfriNIC.
Neither am I, but this policy isn't going to affect existing LIRs anyway :-) - it's a *first allocation size* policy.
Good point here except as to how such policies are determined, regardless of what those policies are... And if they are appropriate to be significantly different when considering a limited resource. As I recall, many years ago now, Jon Postel kinda botched the IPv4 address policy and practice as to allocation, in such a manner as to be too lax and good ole boyish...
