[rpd] RPKI ROAs for Unallocated and Unassigned AFRINIC Address Space AFPUB-2019-GEN-006-DRAFT02

[Fernando Frediani]

I think there is a serious issue by some people totally misunderstanding 
what RPKI actually is.

Some arguments saying something like 'Afrinic will centralize control of 
the internet and should not have such power' don't have relation to what 
what this proposal intends and the reasons to oppose it are not tied to 
real possible problems pointed.

This proposal only follows what have been done in APNIC and LACNIC and 
is a natural move to make an internet more secure and avoid 
organizations to use space that is not assigned to anyone else.
Therefore I support this proposal.
