1. Because audit cost money and man power, audit an large organization like
 national telecom require multiple times of AFRINIC budget, it is beyond
what AFRINIC can afford, Kris is the one responsible for the budget
calculation and he as already clearly states that.

2. Not fairly audit all members is direct violation of ICP-2, selective and
subjective will results abuse of monopoly power lawsuit at first guidance.

3. Audit require sensitive business information in which no business would
like to share,  moreover it is illegal to share in most cases, for example
what if afrinic require member provide all customer data to justify
utilization? It is in direct violation of privacy law in many countries.

The ultimate question is, CAN AFRINIC afford revocation? yes, if you revoke
a /22, the member may be too small to finding problem with you, but if you
revoke a /12? Any company with a /12 have power to sue AFRINIC to broke.
not mentioning the business damage and lost of the connections for the end
user and business users, the address range alone worth 10-15 million
dollars in which effectively is 2 years of income for AFRINIC.

Let's get into real world which has laws and high court in which ultimate
have the real reenforce power with police and military to back what they
are doing, AFRINIC has none, while you still ask AFRINIC to direct confront
all it's members at 100 times its size, I just don't see that as realistic.

AFRINIC is a book keeper, if you ask it to be police, then give it's the
REAL power needed to be one, for example, pass a resolution at AFRICAN
union.

Any policy at last call receive substantial opposition go back to
discussion phase for future discussion, in the last call does not means
people can not push the policy back if they disagree it with rightful
argument.
