I don’t think is so easy.

Being easy shouldn't be the only motivator :-/

...i agree, brother, this question could be
left to the Legal Team, through the IAR
(Impact Analysis Report)...it is also an
obligation to provide such information
to the PDWG; at least as states in CPM
section 3.4.0:

~°~
[...] AFRINIC shall also provide relevant facts and statistics
if requested during the discussion.
~°~

So the point is if we can draft something in the line of:

Please considere to insert the following piece of text:

~°~
...completing any allocation process for
a Ressource Member, or an assignment
for an End User, the Staff has six months
 to publish a set of comprehensive information related to the documentation
submitted to satisfy the need-based
condition, which MUST be vetted prior to
any distribution of INRs; to be used
within the AfriNIC's service region.
~°~

“n” years of every allocation/assignment of IPv4 resources, the

> justification of the request must be published.

...please remove all the above.


Towards that, the resource member will be warned 3 months before the

> This policy shall be implemented in such way that all the resources

...no need to define that constant! imho.


I will love also to hear from legal counsel/Board and lawyers participating

I’m not even sure myself, this could work, but we could try.

...brother, i'm not sure that all DPPs which
appeared to be obvious ended up ratified :-)

Unless, someone propose a better solution, it's worth trying it, imho...

Thanks once more.

Shalom,
