I trust you mean the DBWG to ask AfriNIC staff to request RADB to do
some still-to-be-better-specified cleanup.
So this is for action at a party external to AfriNIC.....!

It looks like we're getting towards consensus.
I see Ronald, Noah, yourself and Frank-when-he's-not-co-chair supporting
this.
Wanted to give other just a little bit more time.


Nishal's message I understand as asking AfriNIC staff to publish blocks
under their control. nothing more (yet).

Allow me to ask that we be very specific.
The "they" refers to "RADB folk"?
Because "Afrinic" would likely "pick this up and follow the DBWG consensus"

Since RADB does as far as i know not "have to" do what we ask, we have
to refine *how* and *what* we ask. We == DBWG + AfriNIC

and have to have consensus on it.

Ehm, I asked AfriNIC staff to publish the list of blocks they control.
Hope that's what you refer to.

Frank
