Hi Simon,
Please explain the coming/announced usecase...

...why not think of it as of a case for a business suddenly closed...
maybe it could help to protect INRs :-/


o 'INACTIVE-MEMBER'

> No applicable use case in AFRINIC (can be removed)




# This class represents a resource member who is not in good standing.

 :-/

...i think it could be a possibility to consider...after a given $period1
the status
of a resource member can change to 'INACTIVE-MEMBER', and can keep
it during a $period2, time to come and pay before being rescued to an
appropriate status,
before AfriNIC reclaim allocated/assigned resources.

idk if it really makes sense :-/

...i don't see 'NIR' [1], IXP' and 'LEGACY-HOLDER' / 'LRH'

If anyone is interested:

~°~
• NIR
National Internet Registry can be seen as a ccLIR.
This class represents all LIRs which serve inside
a single, clearly-defined, country's boundaries.
• IXP
This class of objects represents an Internet eXchange Point.
Its objects can be created only by AfriNIC, based
on data collected during the registration of the entity in charge of an IXP.
• LEGACY-HOLDER
This represents any Orgs with Legacy Resources in
AfriNIC service region. An object can be created
only by AfriNIC, after a deep investigation.
• LRH
{LRH = LEGACY RESOURCE HOLDER. Same as LEGACY-HOLDER}
~•~

...btw, do we have NIRs in AfriNIC service region?

Thanks & Blessings!
