[AfriNIC-rpd] Alternative text for second paragraph of clause3.8 in soft landing

[Andrew Alston]

While this clause explicitly states that the use is for African connectivity purposes, this is infact already the status quo due to clauses in the Afrinic constitution if my reading oh what was said yesterday is correct

Thanks

It will also protect us from exploitation by foreign entities as was I believe the spirit of this clause in the first place.
