I thought we were looking for reference in the policy manual about how  to
review usage of the allocated ressources  and not how ressources are
allocated  and supposed to used.

We agreed on this long ago: "AFRINIC reserved right to review and members
obligation to cooperate." ... and working here on community consensus
approach to such  reviews and avoid the diktat  of Staff.

I thought you read the RSA several times  before  pointing to it and knew
where to find it

When  you found it, quote it faithfully  and don't change the meaning of
some sections to match what you have in mind.

Nothing new here. All of these are well known and discussed before. The
problem  statement of the proposal mentioned section 4 of the RSA "

How important is this for the current discussions? you want to have some
discussions on "utilisation" vs "utilization" ? *This is another exemple of
your failure to accept other views.*

*Where did you get the "service sold" from ?*
The exact is as follow
" (i)  Commits itself to using the services *solely* for the purpose for
which it was requested."

RIRs and AFRINIC  in particular has never sold services.
*You seem to purse the same agenda as your contractor .*
