[AfriNIC-rpd] AfriNIC-12 Public Policy Meeting Update

[Vincent Ngundi]

Dear Colleagues,

The AfriNIC-12 Public Policy meeting that ended last week was very
successful. The quality of the discussions was rich with three (3) policy
proposals being discussed by the community.

What follows is a summary of the decisions made by the community during the
publicy policy meetings:

*1. IPv4 Softlanding Policy Proposal*
The proposal provides a strategy on how to manage AfriNIC's last /8 IPv4
allocation so as to enable a smooth transition to IPv6.

This proposal gathered consensus but with a few amendments. The proposal
will be going to the 15-day last call period shortly.

*2. Abuse Contact Information Policy Proposal*
The proposal seeks to introduce a mandatory reference to IRT objects in the
inetnum, inet6num and aut-num objects in the AfriNIC Whois database in order
to provide a more accurate and efficient way for abuse reports to reach the
correct network contact.

This policy proposal did not gather consensus and therefore will be returned
to the RPD mailing list for further discussions and will possibly be
presented at the next AfriNIC Public Policy meeting (AfriNIC-13).

*3. Policy Development on the AfriNIC Service Region*
The proposal revises the current AfriNIC Policy Development Process (PDP).

 This proposal gathered consensus but with a few amendments. The proposal
will be going to the 15-day last call period shortly.

Regards,

Vincent Ngundi
*Chair, AfriNIC PDP-MG*
