[rpd] Draft inbound policy

[Dewole Ajao]

Good day all,

The latest revision of the Policy Development Process as outlined at 
http://www.afrinic.net/en/community/policy-development/251-policy-development-process-in-the-afrinic-service-region-afpub-2010-gen-005 
starts with authors submitting a draft to the mailing list. After this, 
AFRINIC staff assign a unique identifier, give the authors any necessary 
feedback, and then post the draft online. Once this is done, the 
proposal becomes a community-accessible document whose progress can then 
be tracked.

While the author in this case has exercised his right (as an RPD lister) 
to initiate a policy discussion, the proposal awaits ID and publication 
(in the right format/template as specified in the PDP) by AFRINIC staff. 
This does not however prevent the community from discussing it if they 
choose to.

We hope this makes things clearer.

Regards,
Dewole Ajao & Sami Salih (PDWG Co-Chairs).

As such, when AfriNIC depletes its current space, there will still be a need for further IPv4 addresses on the continent. In addition to this, there may be circumstances where companies wish to use specific v6 resources and ASN’s unavailable on the continent.
