Mr Nadan,

Are we replaying the discussions on the rpd list exactly a year ago?

https://lists.afrinic.net/pipermail/rpd/2013/003578.html
https://lists.afrinic.net/pipermail/rpd/2013/003592.html

.. and many other mails for those who care.

AfriNIC cannot and should not discuss the details of specific
allocations on mailing lists, just because members are asking.

I think we should let AfriNIC run as an organization, reporting and
responding to the community as properly constituted using proper channels.

I hope we would move on to more productive things, instead of pulling
down our own RIR.

Sunday.
