Your question is about the applicability of that article in the 
Constitution.  The article was written after the current policy 
development process.  The wording is most likely based on legal 
advice which AFRINIC received as that is the general practice.

The circumstances are relevant to the application of a policy.  If I 
am not mistaken, it is similar for the Constitution.  I could not 
find a valid reason for looking into the applicability of Article 
11.4 of the Constitution.  I also took into consideration the fact 
that you ruled out the quality of it being worthy of attention.

S. Moonesamy

Board Chair, AFRINIC
