Dear AfriNIC staff,

one object was pointed out to you. It was "fixed".

Was there any check if other objects have the same issue?

I tend to think "no" and I think this is a problem.

I hope AfriNIC staff are *not* happy that there are promises for 2021 in 
the database right now. See below.

Please keep the ticket open until each of these cases is evaluated and 
resolved.

Did since 2025-12-23 05:53 [1] noone think of checking if there are any 
other objects with similar remarks?

IMC, I think we can do better.
