I'm afraid that I have to agree. I would like to join in an oppose this
proposal for the same reasons. I do agree that it's effectively
unenforceable with other undesirable effects, IMHO. I can understand the
concern, but there are likely better ways to insure that v4 addresses are
serving the Afrinic community in the most beneficial way.

Thanks to all for work on this proposal.


Best,
