[rpd] New Proposal - "IPv4 Resources transfer within the AFRINIC Region (AFPUB-2016-V4-003-DRAFT01)"

[McTim]

Hi Sami, All,


2 things:

1. I can support this policy, with a few minor tweaks (3.2.2 is redundant
and also vague as to what the NIC might require for example).


2.  Is this policy proposal eligible for discussion in Gaborone?  If I
recall correctly there is a policy proposal deadline (6 weeks?) before a
face to face meeting.


Regards,


McTim
