[rpd] Last Call for "AFPUB-2016-GEN-001-DRAFT-04 - Internet Number Resources Review by AFRINIC"

Mon Jul 17 09:53:47 UTC 2017

Dear Mr Millogo, Co-Chairs and members of PDWG
I have to state that i have not seen any proof of the invalidity of the 
legal concerns that I highlighted. Moreover if the need for a second 
opinion is strongly felt I welcome same.
When I felt in good faith and that it was within my professional 
mandate, that the interests of AFRINIC needed to be protected I 
highlighted the legal concerns.
.In fact at the suggestion of the Co-Chairs, Serge Ilunga and myself 
discussed these concerns when we were in J'burgh and for me all legal 
concerns have not been addressed.
  I look at the policy proposal from the perspective of its impact on 
AFRINIC, regarding the latter's liability ( and I do this for all 
proposal where my input is sought) .Do read my final legal assessment 
and decide whether the concerns I have reiterated have been addressed in 
the proposal as it stands presently. It is not enough to state that 
these have been addressed without actually bringing amendments in the 
proposal to that effect.
Ashok.
