Hello Marius, Jordi and Jaco
In order to make the Co-Chair life easier it is important to make clear
for them you oppose this proposal, if I understand correctly what you
all said.
I agree with all mentioned about a minimum time must exist in order to
prevent fraud and flow of addresses out of the AfriNic region and which
this proposal wishes to change. Therefore I oppose it too.
