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

[Andrew Alston]

Agreed it would be nice to know the progress, at the same time I do feel personally that there are policy issues at stake here.

Specifically I would like time frames tied down in policy, because as you say, they promised a cleanup in 2012, it's now 2014, and we're still waiting for a status update.

Last time we discussed this, in 2012, the community thought that Whois cleanup should be a staff project, not a policy issue, and the Afrinic staff said that they were busy trying to clean up the database.

It would be nice to know what progress has been made since then.
