:-) ...any evidence ? 


Good new ! we know, now, that no one 
can get Internet number resources 
(INRs) at AfriNIC in justifying its needs 
as to engage in leasing such precious 
resources...

...what we still not know is *if* their new 
justification of utilization of INRs was 
explaining that they were going to start 
a leasing activity with *our* INRs.

...i suppose, as required by the RSA [1], 
they have already shared their new 
network design, with AfriNIC at that 
time, to explain the new kind of usage 
they were about to starting :-/

...i hope that they, at least, usually go back to the registration service (as expected) to justify the change on the utilization, they planed themselves, of the allocated INRs.

...a candidate for a *review of INRs*? or 
am i missing something :-/
