How are you Cheng,

Where you come from.? China maybe?

ok why are you worried of this policy proposal if you did follow the
instructions of the agreement RSA.

why you are fearing if you can give report that the ip address used
properly?

anybody who is not done illegals mustn't be afraid of the policy. Maybe you
are not using the IP address the Afrinic given you now you are panicked
that the Afrinic shall review and find out.

maybe you are even using it wrong places or selling the ip address in
chinese.

I did not see any problem at all if all the companies complied to the
agreement of this RSA as per this Afrinic policy.

Best Regards,
Tutu Ngcaba
