1</span></b><br></p><p style="margin : 0px; " class=""><span> </span><br></p><p style="margin : 0px; " class=""><span>AFRINIC claims that any change in the IP
usage will require re-justifying the usage. Would it mean that, hypothetically,
if I have a web customer on my server and they leave to be replaced with a VPN
customer, will I need to seek AFRINIC’s approval first?</span><br></p><p style="margin : 0px; " class=""><span> </span><br></p><p style="margin : 0px; " class=""><u><span>Question 1 was not discussed or

a free open market. With AFRINIC having a transfer policy in place, will
AFRINIC still demand any unused IP be returned to them for free?</span><br></p><p style="margin : 0px; " class=""><span> </span><br></p><p style="margin : 0px; " class=""><u><span>Question 2 was not discussed or

within the last decade, and it was a consensus that pre-soft landing space is
allowed for out-of-region use. Yet, I heard that AFRINIC seems to be using
bylaw 6.1 to manage other people’s resource usage. This is not part of AFRINIC
policy and has, with good reason, never been approved by the community. Can
AFRINIC clarify its understanding of out-of-region usage to the member base?</span><br></p><p style="margin : 0px; " class=""><span> </span><br></p><p style="margin : 0px; " class=""><u><span>Question 3 was not discussed or
