In my personal opinion, and as an economist, I consider it unfortunate in this otherwise good idea for a commemorative 10 Years of AFRINIC logo that the contest is appropriating without any compensation the intellectual property of the designers who submit designs. It would have been better to offer a slightly more substantial prize than a certificate to the winning design(s), and to leave ownership of the remaining designs in the hands of the designers. It is also hard to figure out of what use the other 10-Year designs would be to AFRINIC in any event.<br>
