I must commend the authors of this policy for their effort but at the same
I did not see the need for the policy because the problem it intend to
solve have been taken care of by the Registration Service Agreement (RSA)
so let's stop renaming problem that have been solved simply because we want
to propose a policy so that we can avoid duplication of things already in
existence.

Thanks

Humbly
Eucharia.

13.0 Summary of the Problem Being Addressed by this Policy Proposal

As Internet Number resources are finite, their allocation is based on
the operational needs of end-users and Internet Services Providers,
while avoiding stockpiling in accordance with RFC7020, IPv4 Allocation
Policy CPM 5.5, IPv6 Allocation and assignment policy CPM 6.5 and Policy
for Autonomous System Numbers (ASN) Management in the AFRINIC region CPM
7.0.Section 4 of the Registration Service Agreement (RSA) provides the
framework for investigations of the usage of allocated Internet Number
resources, defines members? obligation to cooperate and the measures to
be taken by AFRINIC in case of failure to comply. The lack of such
investigation or regular control can lead to inefficient usage of the
Internet Number resources, to stockpiling and other type of abuses.

13.0.1 Summary of How this Proposal Addresses the Problem

In order to ensure efficient and appropriate use of resources, AFRINIC
shall conduct regular reviews of resource utilisation held by its
members. This would allow recovery of any type of resource, where usage
is not in compliance with the RSA. Those resources can be reallocated
for better usage.

13.0.2 Proposal

The policy proposal will modify the CPM as follows:

Insert a section 13 to the CPM as follows:

13.0 Internet Number Resources Review

Regular reviews of resource utilisation are conducted by AFRINIC to
ensure efficient and appropriate usage of resources. This allows for
recovery of any type of resource where usage is not in compliance with
the RSA; to allow such resources to be reallocated for better usage.

13.1 The reviews shall be based on compliance with the terms outlined in
the RSA and Allocation/Assignment Policies.

13.2 The reviews cover all allocated/Assigned resources, but priority
goes to IPv4 and ASN mappable to two-octet ASN.

13.3 Classes of review: Members to be reviewed shall be selected
according to the following classes:

13.3.1 Random

The member is chosen by AFRINIC at random between the members who has
not been reviewed for any other reasons in ?the preceding 24 months.


13.3.2 Selected

 ?Member is selected because of an internal report or due to a lack of
contact between the AFRINIC and the member.

13.3.3 Reported:

Here, members are reviewed either because:

A) They have requested the review themselves or

B) There has been a community complaint made against them that warrants
investigation. Complaints shall be backed by evidence and AFRINIC staff
shall evaluate the facts as appropriate to conduct the review. However
this review is not applicable to a member ?with the same resources
portfolio on which a full review has been completed in the preceding 24
months.

 ?AFRINIC staff may, at its sole discretion, after having assessed the
nature of the evidence found in the community complaint, require that
such evidence be (i) submitted in the form of a sworn affidavit or (ii)
declared to be true before a Commissioner of Oath.

13.4 In case of non-compliance and if evidence has been established in
accordance with:

? ? ?Breach of AFRINIC policies
? ? ?Breach of the provisions of the registration service agreement or
other legal agreements between the organisation holding the resource and
AFRINIC.

AFRNIC shall initiate the resource recovery process on the portion of
addresses found to be noncompliant.

A) AFRINIC shall attempt to contact the organisation and correct any
discrepancy towards the RSA. Except in cases of fraudulent resource
acquisition or ?unlawful usage and abuse, the organization shall be
given a minimum of six(6) months to effect the return of the resources.

If the organisation is cooperative and working in good faith to
substantially restore compliance or has a valid need for additional time
to renumber out of the affected blocks, AFRINIC shall negotiate a longer
term.

The acceptance level of compliance and duration of the longer term are
at AFRINIC staff discretion.

B) If the situation cannot be rectified and the member did not transfer
the resources to meet other AFRINIC-approved needs as per adopted policies

 ?AFRINIC shall publish the resources to be recovered for a period of
three (3) months; during which the organisation may at any time, seek
compliance or transfer the resources to other members

 ?After this period, the resource shall be recovered and therefore the
records of the previous holder of the recovered resource shall be
updated in AFRINIC?s databases.

C) ?Any Internet Number Resources recovered under this policy may be
assigned/allocated under existing Allocation and Assignment Policies.

13.5 Appeal procedure

Reviewed members who are not satisfied have the right to appeal against
the results on the review within the four weeks following communication
of the results by AFRINIC. Appeals shall follow an arbitration process
as provided for in the
Code de Procedure Civile (Code of Civil Procedure) of the Republic of
Mauritius. AFRINIC may, on request from an aggrieved party, suggest a
pool of arbitrators who shall be knowledgeable volunteers from the
community.

13.6 Compliance Report

AFRINIC shall publish an annual meaningful report describing review
activities, in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.

13.7 Acknowledgements
