I assumed that the Address Supporting Organization did some 
coordination.  During the discussion about a global policy proposal 
the following issue was raised ( 
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/address-policy-wg/2011-September/006304.html 
):

   "During discussions with the ARIN Advisory Council, it was mentioned
    that the clarification requires a text change to the proposal.  It
    was also mentioned that the ASO, instead of the NRO, must provide
    the clarification."

There wasn't any response from the Address Supporting 
Organization.  From a presentation at 
http://meeting.afrinic.net/afrinic-17/slides/29nov/af17_pd2_p8_ALAN_BARETT_dn.pdf 
I see that the Address Supporting Organization advises the ICANN 
Board on number resources.  I don't recall seeing any message from 
Address Supporting Organization members to inform the AfriNIC 
community about any advice which has been given to the ICANN 
Board.  What does the Address Supporting Organization do for Africa?
