We are getting closer...however i think we have not yet arrived at the
appropriate formula ;) I don't see the justification for the formula that
have given need for the 0.5 for part time students. My argumenet is;
whether the student is part time or not, whenver he/she comes on the
network he get assigned a single (full IP) and so there would be no basis
for reducing the actual number of part-time students to 50%. Actually as a
matter of fact, there is the chance that part time students may even stay
longer on the network than the full timers....due to the flexible timing
schedule they may have.
Similarly i don't think adding full time to the employees will be
applicable....some lecturers are on contract basis, and so cannot be
refeered to as full timers. In view of all this, i am reccommending a
re-wording as follows

.....a formula of full time students + employees + on site part time
students

I am not sure about the "should be approved" part....perhaps it can read as
thus:

...applications based on a ratio as high as 10:1 will be considered for
approval by the Afrinic staff based on the justification provided by the
applicant.

I don't think there is a need for 3.7 since it is no longer a debate on
whether HEIs is an End user or not.
