(1) AfriNIC CEO already said in the past on this policy that it will
put significant strain on his staffs or cost the company much money it
does not have to bring new resources to make it work. I call upon him
to confirm what he meant by this.

(2) In past discussion it was stated that AfriNIC already does reviews.

(3) RSA 4b is very clear on actions to take when a member breaches RSA
when information asked by AfriNIC was not provided. A policy is not
needed to define the method.

At the moment I dont see a real problem this policy solves. It only
creates more problems. It is irrelevant and unneeded. Aspect of its
crux are already met in RSA. Implementing those aspects can be
considered operational matter which staff can handle with no member
interventions.
