Marcus,

The community has rejected this policy proposal repeatedly. Yes, there have been some mistakes made by co-chairs along the way and those mistakes were corrected through either the appellate processes within the PDP or through co-chairs’ own actions prior to an appeal becoming necessary.

The purpose, mission, role of AfriNIC is to register unique delegations of number resources pursuant to polices set through a community consensus policy process. Further, it is the role of AfriNIC to facilitate and manage that policy development process.

Whether or not this particular proposal can come to consensus, the process is working mostly as intended and the community is providing the appropriate feedback to the authors. The fact that authors and/or proponents don’t like the content of that feedback really isn’t a valid reason to call in to question the existence or purpose of AfriNIC.
