This seems like a few requests:

1. Fix SSL (https://afrinic.net is using outdated crypto - I noticed this
when I tried the https url given by Alan)
2. Move the site to HTTPS only (I threw this in but it's really the way it
should be - even for public resources)
3. Migrate
https://afrinic.net/en/community/policy-development/policy-proposals/{{ID_STRING}}
to https://afrinic.net/en/policy/{{ID_STRING}} (We'll have to see what can
be done here)
4. Handle https://afrinic.net/en/policy/{{ID_STRING}} where the policy is a
draft and return the latest version
5. Update to the new ID
6. Migrate the old IDs to the new IDs
7. Note in the old policies what the old ID was

Are there any more comments?  The first two items are out of the scope of
this request but I'll forward them to the secretariat so that they can be
addressed.
