<pre wrap="">Larus is a resource holder like any other resource holder. The fact that
they are a large resource holder does not make them any worse or
better than any other resource holder, so I’m not sure why you believe
the number of IPv4 addresses they hold have any bearing on the
discussion.

<font face="Lato">What make Larus singular is that this organization
through an LIR membership, holds 6 million IPv4 space, more IPv4
space than even countries like Nigeria, Kenya and Algeria (*). The
same Larus has no real Internet infrastructure on-continent nor
any serious services being consumed by customers on the
continent.<br>
<br>
With NO network, lack of local staff in Africa that could
contribute to discussions on Afrinic list or even attend AfriNIC
meetings except the known Individual based out of Africa.<br>
<br>
Therefore besides contracting individual mercenaries to visibly
help protect and defend the huge IPv4 pool it holds, by opposing
the review policy by all means, one would wonder what value Larus
really contributes to the AfriNIC community besides sponsoring
newbie students to interfere with PDP.<br>
<br>
That is where the problem lays...<br>
