[rpd] AfriNIC policy AFPUB-2014-GEN-002-DRAFT-01 reject

[Victor]

In my opinion, the proposal itself intended to keep the resources within
the region and may prevent business investment in Africa which is not good
at all.

Technically how to define out-of-region is another question to discuss.
Without proper definition, this policy will NOT solve any problem which
stated initially "leaving staff to arbitrarily decide how to handle
Out-Of-Region requests". It simply create another problem "leaving staff to
arbitrarily decide how to DEFINE Out-Of-Region", providing extra execute to
reject some resources applications.

There is no reason to get it implement.
