AFRINIC has not won or last any cases yet regarding the geographical restriction of IP Utilization. This is more misinformation from you.</div>

I expect that with regard to that particular issue, AFRINIC will lose, as a plain text reading of the governing documents does not support such aa restriction except in the case of addresses issued after the activation of the soft landing policy.</div>
