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

[Ibeanusi Elvis]

Dear all,

The AFRINIC as an organization specifically focuses on the registration
database and thereby having knowledge of where the prefix belongs to and
AFRINIC should just focus on this role and should not engage in
authenticating or the authorization of various services. If such rights are
given to any organization, they have the right to assign prefixes to
servers hence, having control of the routing database at which a technical
or human error will lead to an immense catastrophe to the internet society.
This control is basically the specific definition of centralization. This
centralization is the major reason why most providers do not trust the
Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI). I am still in opposition to this
policy proposal.

Elvis.
