[AFRINIC-Announce] Draft Registration Services Agreement (RSA) and Transfer Agreement Published for Comments

[AFRINIC Communications]

Dear AFRINIC community,

 On 2 October 2017 a revised RSA was published for public comments.  The comment period ended on 30 October 2017.

 We have prepared a table summarising the comments and staff responses to the comments, as well as a revised version of the RSA.

 We have also identified a risk that, if a requested transfer is denied for some reason, AFRINIC may be sued by either the source or recipient or both. 

 We have prepared a Transfer Agreement which source and recipient will sign to protect AFRINIC from that risk.

 Here are the relevant documents:
