[DBWG] inconsistency with afrinic member portal IRR registration form.

[Yogesh Chadee]

Dear DBWG,

With respect to the issue raised, please note that the following fix was 
applied to MyAFRINIC on 17 August 2021:

     "org" is now optional when registering an as-set

This has resolved an inconsistency between the behaviour of MyAFRINIC 
and WHOIS, and we thank you for pointing it out.

Best regards,

Yogesh Chadee
