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

Fri Jan 11 13:40:12 UTC 2013

Dear all,

I agree with Tim Mc to oppose this policy proposal. Otherwise what was said about Africa's resources are looted by developed countries will be as per IP resources. I'd like to see companies interested to settle or establish companies in Africa rather than allowing them to transfer such IP addresses.

Kind regards,

Ing. ATTOUMANI MOHAMED Karim,
Comores

Dear Colleagues,

I am opposed to this proposal.

Given that Africa has historically fewer numbering resources than
other regions,
and this proposal will allow transfer from the region to other
regions, it seems to me to be
a way for people to make money from IP address transfers in opposition
to the sense of the
community as gauged a few meetings ago.

In addition, at  http://www.facebook.com/chad.abizeid, I found:

"Chad Abizeid
Please contact me at chad at logicweb.com / 877-564-4293 ext 79. I am
looking to see if your company may be interested in leasing over 250k
IP addresses (/14) from my company LogicWeb Inc (est 2004). Smaller
subnet leasing available as well. Thank you.

I hope you will join me in opposition to this as a way to keep AfriNIC
resources in Africa for use by African networks.

Cheers,

McTim
