[rpd] Appeal against softlanding-bis declaration of consensus

[Marcus K. G. Adomey]

Hi Mark Elkins,


I may agree with you that Sander and Owen have rich experience in policy matters in the context of their region.


What they have failed to understand is that African context is different from theirs. And this is the main reason why AfriNIC was created to adapt numbers resources allocation to African realities.


So far, they failed to show how the process was not followed  and point out issues not addressed and which can impact  a large part of the African internet community. Like others, they keep expressing their feelings, thoughts  perceptions and speculations.


RIPE and ARIN do adopt policies, but not based on full consensus. Policies discussions archives are available  for each region and attest this.




Marcus

Hi Mark Again this is not true. It is explicitely said in the policy that any organization (regardless of its size) can be allocated /18 within a 24 month period during exhaustion phase 1 and /22 during exhaustion phase 2. Anyone can always get more allocation as long as they justify 90% utilization. I fail to see how it prevents growth for anyone. However it does ensure good management of our ressources. The policy doesn't punish success. In any case, it encourages carefully planned growth Why would anyone disagree with that? Is IPv6 not the common sense option for any growth plan?
