[AFRINIC-rpd] New Policy Proposal: Inter RIR IPv4 Address Transfers (AFPUB-2013-V4-001-DRAFT-01)

Fri Jan 11 13:19:20 UTC 2013

+1 something similar to this proposal was presented sometime ago(i think it
was at Afrinic 14 in Tanzania). Ofcourse i opposed it then, and even now i
strongly oppose! I don't see any economic benefit that will come out of
this, i can only relate such an act to indirect colonialism.

Our heritage is a thing of pride lets not sell it to a foreigner!

Regards
