[Community-Discuss] [members-discuss] Formal mediation

[Amin Dayekh]

the questions that remain valid Ben,

1- Is the reason justified to get the IP resources still applicable?
2- are the ip resources still in use for that justified reason?

herewith what PTA directed its members (especially about afrinic)

if PTA as the telecom authority is prohibiting the use of IP resources from
Afrinic, Rather especially from afrinic, how a broker is going beyond that
directive?
