[rpd] Appeal against softlanding-bis declaration of consensus

[ALAIN AINA]

Hello,

The policy proposal’s text is authentic and unequivocal. Sections 5.4.5 and 5.4.6: 

======

5.4.5 Allocation Criteria
 
5.4.5.1 In order to receive IPv4 allocations or assignments during the Exhaustion Phase, the LIR or End User must meet IPv4 allocations or assignment policy requirements (by demonstrating and justifying the need for requested space) and must demonstrate to have efficiently used at least 90% of all previous allocations or assignments (including those made during both the Pre-Exhaustion and the Exhaustion Phase).
 
5.4.5.2 In the case of new LIRs or End Users (those that have no previous allocations or assignments prior to the Exhaustion phase), this requirement does not apply to their first allocation or assignment request.
 
5.4.5.3 AFRINIC resources are for the AFRINIC service region and any use outside the region should be solely in support of connectivity back to the AFRINIC region
 
5.4.6 Allowable Limits
 
5.4.6.1 Within any 24-month period during Exhaustion Phase 1, an organization may receive one or more allocations/assignments totalling the equivalent of a /18.
 
5.4.6.2 Within any 24-month period during Exhaustion Phase 2, an organization may receive one or more allocations/assignments totalling the equivalent of a /22. 
=======


Thanks

—Alain
