[rpd] New proposal - "AfriNIC Whois Database Update Process" (AFPUB-2014-GEN-001-DRAFT-01)

[Kofi ansa akufo]

This looks better :)

My issue although may be trivial is clause 3.3.7

AfriNIC headquarters is in a timezone (+4hrs GMT) quite different from
almost all the AfriNIC service region. An issue noticed currently when
contacting members.

Cheers
