It looks like we are discussing about two different things 
here.  There is the global policy proposal that is ratified by the 
ICANN Board and there is the proposal that is ratified in the AfriNIC 
region.  The question is whether the proposal is considered as a 
policy according to the AfriNIC PDP.

For what it is worth, there is an ICANN announcement mentioning that 
the proposal has been abandoned.  The proposal has been adopted by 
the five RIRs; three of them did it after the announcement.  The 
point is that it would be helpful to the AfriNIC community if they 
are made aware of the deliberations of their peers in the other 
regional policy forums about a global proposal.
