Circumstances require the AFRINIC service region to be more conservative.
If anything, Andrew should bring back his proposal for Inbound Transfers.

In your case, you want to force through a resource transfer policy so that
your employer Larus can transfer resources out. *#dangayatoto *

In an erroneous manner.

The submitted appeals against that proposal remain open pending hearing by
an AC review.

The PDP after the last call, requires disputed proposals to be sent back to
the list for further discussions until the next PPM. There was no
emergency and the proposal had so many valid objections that remain
unaddressed today.

Consensus was confirmed by the community and again confirmed by co-chairs.

I refer you to the above links that are pending appeals and can also see

You can twist it however you like but as long as the PDWG has disputed the
ex Co-chairs decision as per the PDP process and the very proposal remains
with valid objections yet to be addressed, the resource transfer proposal
never reached consensus and is under appeals.

You really like to twist things around to suit your liking. You are calling
for the *ratification* of a resource transfer proposal which is under two
pending appeals and at the same time you are calling for the
*non-ratification* of an RPKI AS0 proposal which is under some appeal.

If you didn't get it,... it's immaterial.
