Hi colleagues:

I do not mean in the very least sense to delay an implementation unless the risk shown by it is far too serious. So if it is just because no one notices the problem in the very beginning (which I am trying to address now), does that mean we have to ignore it? A dangerous bridge cannot be built even in the very last minute, no matter how long it takes to implement that project, if one notices there’s a risk it may break. This bridge now is network. To ensure the network works, it’s all RIR, not just Afrinic’s reponsibility to take care of the matter.

And as for the definition of consensus, yes, the consensus is  declear by the chair. What I am referring to is the definition of rough consensus(not the “consensus” happened a couple of months ago), because the resolution is not acceptable by all parties, an accutral consensus is not yet achieved. Please do not confuse the process with that of consensus.

All I am asking here is to delay implementation and give Afrinic sometime to fix their IRR.

It's the way our community works. 

We discuss a problem, propose a solution, get agreement on problem and
solution, get an implementation plan, agree to this, and *then implement it*.

We do *not* go through all the process and stop right at the end because
someone decides to disagree *months after the time for discussion was
ended*.

Please read RFC7282 - while we're not the IETF, this is comparably to
the way the RIPE working groups operate wrt consensus and "someone is
always complaining".
