[Community-Discuss] Questions about AfriNIC Allocations

Tue Dec 4 16:43:42 UTC 2018

Komi,

Let me be blunt – I downloaded a file from the AFRINIC ftp server – I have a *date stamped file* with the data of the transfer on it – from last night – I processed my data against the AFRINIC LATEST delegated file.  Today – when it was said to me – the numbers don’t match – I downloaded the new latest file – and got new data and checked it.  AfriNIC staff are more than free to confirm from the FTP logs that I pulled the latest file to do the data processing I did when I said I did – I will happily give them the IP I downloaded from off list.

Therefore – if a link is broken or pointing at the wrong data – these things happen – I double checked it against a file called delegated-afrinic-latest – downloaded yesterday on the 3rd of December – so – quite frankly – it is what it is.

Let me also address something else you said – you expect more from former board members.  Let me be VERY clear here – I am a member of this community – and I carry the votes for members – beyond that – my time on the board is over – and other than the fact that I am bound by an NDA which prevents me revealing so many things I would love to talk about – I do not believe that my status as a former board member has any relevance in any participation I make since the day I left the board.  So please – do not even TRY and hold that one over my head – it doesn’t hold any water with me.

Andrew

Andrew,
Could you please cross check your data  next time before alarming the world? Always trying to make the organization  looks bad  does not  serve  anybody. We expect high standard from former board members...

Thanks.

That’s well interesting.

Yesterday – I pulled the afrinic-delegated-latest file – and it seems the latest link wasn’t updated or something, because the stats in the delegated file that I pulled yesterday – were VERY different from the latest file that I pulled today.

I’m pulling all the actual dated files now rather than the linked ones and will re-run the stats

since this is a democracy, I vote for 163.

[frank at fisi ~]$ egrep '\|asn\|[0-9]+\|[0-9]+\|2018[0-9]{4}\|'
delegated-afrinic-extended-20181204 | wc -l
163

Agenda item 1:
was there a drop?
