Thanks for sharing the archive link.

The email mentions the following:

    "The Board believes that these regulations are not a barrier to
     publication of the WHOIS data [..]"

and,

    "The Board further believes that the biggest changes required by
     AFRINIC are in documenting how personal data is used, and in
     informing people at the time data is collected."

I do not recall that there was any specific mention about how the
personal data of resource members is used, at the time of registration.
This leads me to believe that the current practice is not compliant with
the data protection requirements.
