If you would like to submit a policy proposal, please see 
http://www.afrinic.net/docs/policies/AFPUB-2008-GEN-001.htm for 
information about the Policy Development Process.  If you have any 
questions, you can post them to this mailing list or send them to the PDP-MG.

Tobias Knecht has written a proposal about the information provided 
in Whois for abuse reporting ( 
http://www.afrinic.net/docs/policies/AFPUB-2010-GEN-002.htm ).  The 
ASN policy ( 
http://www.afrinic.net/docs/policies/AFPUB-2004-ASN-001.htm ) may 
also be relevant.

I'll comment on the bulk Whois data, if that is the problem, once I 
receive information about it from AfriNIC.
