[Community-Discuss] Notice to all the legacy netblocks holders        in AfriNIC

[Noah]

Hi Wijdane,

To be honest, I could careless about the global consensus of how IPv4
address space is used and what Andrea Cima said about RIPE because AFRINIC
is not RIPE.  IANA allocated to AFRINIC and AFRINIC allocated to LIR's
within its region based on need with a justied purpose.

AFRINIC has its own rules and if address space was obtained to number
infrastructure in AFRICA but its instead being traded aka leased for profit
outside AFRICA, that is a different case altogether as it tantamount to
fraud and violations of terms of the RSA.

It's also worth noting that todate, AFRINIC does not have an Inter-RIR
transfer policy because the community in this part of the world has yet to
agree on one.
