Volume is irrelevant in the policy making, even a single voice from a
totally unknown person can block anything, as long as that person has
a valid and sustained.

Almost none of the arguments put forward against the policy were new,
they had just been slipped under the radar or were just being ignored.

All RIRs do reviews, but none of them are aimed solely at
de-registering, Ashok's email actually goes into quite some length
into that topic.

This would imply that AFRINIC as the secretariat would have been
failing the community up until this point!
Which is simply not true.
