when the policy that allowed afrinic space to be resold to other afrinic 
members [1] went to RPD WGLC, i asked a similar question [2] on the RPD 
list, since, the proposed policy would conflict with the then existing 
RSA  (the précis of which went: the RSA at the time said: “return 
unused space”,  but, the incoming policy said:  “nah, don’t 
bother;  just turn it in for a profit instead, later”) ..

the answer that staff presented was actually the opposite of what you 
wrote above.  see [3].  so, if a policy is passed through the PDP 
process, that changes the terms of the RSA, then the RSA will need to be 
updated.
