Dear all,
The "Lame delegations in AFRINIC reverse DNS" 
<https://www.afrinic.net/en/community/policy-development/policy-proposals/2241-lame-delegations-in-afrinic-reverse-dns-v02> 
policy has been ratified on 21 March 2018. The intention is to ensure lame 
delegations appearing in the reverse DNS are acted upon.
The policy will be implemented by equipping the WHOIS with automatic 
checks, notifications to admin-c, tech-c and zone-c contacts of domain 
objects and removal of lame delegations after 30 days. There will also be 
statistics on lame delegations on the AFRINIC website. These features will 
go live on 27 September 2018.
On day 1 of every month, a fresh scan of WHOIS domain objects will be 
performed and checks made for lame delegations. During the next 30 days, 
multiple lameness checks will be performed. Up to 4 notifications will be 
sent to admin-c, tech-c and zone-c contacts of domain objects with lame 
delegations as long as the lame delegations are detected, allowing them to 
act upon them. AFRINIC has published a manual 
<https://www.afrinic.net/services/lame-delegation> for members to deal with 
the situation. At the end of the 30 day period, remaining lame delegations 
will be automatically removed from the WHOIS.
Best regards, AFRINIC Applications Unit
