when the policy that allowed afrinic space to be resold to other afrinic
members [1] went to RPD WGLC, i asked a similar question [2] on the RPD
list, since, the proposed policy would conflict with the then existing
RSA (the précis of which went: the RSA at the time said: “return
unused space”, but, the incoming policy said: “nah, don’t
bother; just turn it in for a profit instead, later”) ..
the answer that staff presented was actually the opposite of what you
wrote above. see [3]. so, if a policy is passed through the PDP
process, that changes the terms of the RSA, then the RSA will need to be
updated.
