[Community-Discuss] Call for AFRINIC’s registry service migration to other RIRs

[Brian Sowers]

>Moreover, a more capable registry can provide better service possibly along with lower fees and even a more stable governance. With better resource handling, all these benefits can be enjoyed by users. 


With the bureaucratic legal mess AFRINIC currently (and historically) finds itself with the courts and hung appeals, the NRO’s stability fund requiring unanimous RIR support, perhaps it’s just best to switch over to RIPE. As you said, better service…lower fees…*stable* governance. African internet has found itself in crisis due to AFRINIC. Sure, members are able to send posts to this forum via the resources AFRINIC provides, but AFRINIC gratuitously provides extra services such as arbitrarily shutting down memberships and creating uncertainty in the air about its bottom line. It’s time to revamp AFRINIC’s core values or simply switch to another RIR (or accept support from) that actually lives up to its ideals.
