[rpd] [Community-Discuss] Unaddressed queries by AFRINIC during AGMM

[Fernando Frediani]

Hi Noah

Yes I am aware of that. That's why I mentioned soon-to-come.
I am confident we as community will be able to reach consensus in 
another good Inter-RIR policy at some point in the near future, not like 
that old rushed and bad discussed one which injected to keep legacy 
status for legacy holders at the very last minute without any discussion.

I agree members holding IPv4 space and not building infrastructure 
should return that space to the RIR or transfer to another AfriNic 
members. That's pretty obvious but unfortunately there are people trying 
to make it normal members to hold large amount of unused IP space just 
to rent to a non connectivity customer.

Regards
Fernando
