[rpd] Summary of Proposal AFRINIC Number Resources Transfer Policy AFPUB-2020-GEN-006-DRAFT02

Wed Jan 5 18:51:31 UTC 2022

Exactly, that's my view as well.
People seem to not understand what they want to discuss. Or perhaps they 
just are not willing to be submitted to any kind of rules anymore.

There scarce resources being assigned under rules agreed by this forum 
and people keep believing that once that is done the RIR cannot do 
anything else and they may use those resources in the way they wish 
without having to explain anything to anyone.
And once they feel any possibility to be questioned for their actions 
they try to confuse that like if the RIR was going into questions that 
are not of their business, but the reality is that THEY ARE !
If resources are used out of the current rules it is the RIR duty to 
supervise and if necessary revoke such resources. How hard is to 
understand this business and how all this works ?

If one want transfer resources *under the rules* he must render accounts 
to the body who assign and revoke those resources and give all necessary 
information that is required under those rules.

At the end it is always important to remember: those are not your 
resources and will never be. They are assigned to you for your and your 
customers usage while they remain needed and justified.

Best regards
Fernando
