clearly nobody is against the general idea of the custodians of the IP
resources allocated to Africa to check that these are used for the
purpose they have been allocated to us as you put it.

it is the how.

by the way, is there anything stopping AfriNIC to carry out audit as
allowed through registration service agreement (rsa)? if no, why are
we even having this discussion??
