The legacy resources at AFRINIC, was discussed previously with no outcome
or action plan
https://lists.afrinic.net/pipermail/community-discuss/2016-June/000291.html

Someone raide ip hijacking...
https://lists.afrinic.net/pipermail/community-discuss/2016-June/000295.html

There was no response and outcome.

Review policy is on table and give us opportunity to :

   - review IP resources usage in AFRINIC region
   - recall if applicable, unused IP resources
   - encourage accountability and RSA compliance
   - help AFRINIC operate in public truct

Furthermore, it is up to community to decide if we would like legacy
resources holders to provide fees in counterpart of AFRINIC services
towards them.
Hope this helps.
