[Community-Discuss] Issue with non-AFRINIC Fellowship to Meeting -

[Gregoire Ehoumi]

Hello,

The order is clear simple: Member sign RSA which introduce Policies which recognise BCPs...

The RSA stipulates that  it's subject at all times to policies, which means that policies supersede the RSA.

RSA set defaut rules which may be override by policies, but anything not explicit in policies follow RSA.

Amending the RSA was not needed as argued last time, but the precedence has been set and we thereafter have this confusion.

So back to the original discussion, where is the conflict between the RSA and the IP allocation policies ?

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.
