That part of bylaws means nothing to PDWG. If they would ever do that it 
would open a precedent that has the potential to question AfriNic 
internationally to continuing to existing and be recognized as a RIR.
Bylaws is made by members-only and members-only are not allowed to 
determine unilaterally what the policies will be unless that is give to 
them by PDWG which has never happened.

Therefore that part of the bylaws should be rejected, dismissed and 
ideally removed by the next General Assembly.
