I agree with you for the benefit of clarity especially for those who do not
have full understanding of the purpose and aim of this proposal.

IMHO I see this proposal as one will challenge the organizations into the
deployment to IPv6 around Africa.

The Bis proposal as a results puts AFRINIC in a precarious legal position

I know big organization like MTN with branches in Nigeria, Ghana, South
Africa, Uganda, Sudan, etc are seen as different entities in each of the
country they are operating, and if this is the case, there should be no
fear of limiting them as operate in more than one country.
