    Ok.

    I'll try to remember that for your emails.

    Thanks for the response.

    There are the following words in the service level commitment [1]: 
    "provide an effective response on all queries addressed to it, within 
    two (2) working days".  Should that be changed to: provide an 
    effective response on all queries addressed to it, within a 
    reasonably short time thereafter?
 
I think this is a mix of things. AfriNIC is offering a service to the members. AfriNIC is not deploying networks. Deploying and operating networks has a different set/level of complexities.

Despite that, I will be in favor, if the community or even the impact analysis considers this is the right thing to do, to suggest a 12-months time frame. I think this is what we have in other policies.

Now, for that to happen, we need to know it now! So please, community speak up. Otherwise, what is not making sense to me, is to have a simple policy proposal, which is needed, to have only 3-4 people contributing into the discussion, rejected in the meeting for something that is so simple to clarify now.

    Yes.
