Dear Frank,
Thanks for your email, brother!

It's the right of AfriNIC members to get the
best of what's available.

*Roadmap for core RPKI services/features*
|- 
https://www.nro.net/technical-coordination/nro-rpki-program/roadmap-for-core-rpki-services-features/

Looking to the RIR-collective (NRO) roadmap, i
see that all the four other RIRs have at least a
plan to offer the Delegated service as another
option for RPKI self-hosted repository.

Delegated service 	

  * APNIC
  * ARIN
  * LACNIC
  * RIPE NCC

	End of Q1 2026
