[AFRINIC-rpd] Re: PDP discussions

[Andrew Alston]

And Nii at this point I will question why AfriNIC *needs* to see my
documented network.  AfriNIC is not the network design police, a lot of
network design is very often company confidential anyway.  AfriNIC needs
to know that the space allocated is being used on continent to address on
continent infrastructure.  That is their mandate.

They are not a repository of network designs, they are not a police force,
they are there purely to ensure, is this space being used, is it being
used in Africa and has the information about who is using it been properly
inserted into the database.
