And to add on what you have stated...I DONT see the point of this policy.
If an organization withing the African Region feels like they
can no-longer utilize the number resources they have been allocated by
AfriNIC, then the drill is to transfer back those excess number resources
and in addition AfriNIC has a mechanism for justifying IP usages withing
myafrinic, hence the reason why a justification for usage is always
required before allocation even more allocation...
