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

Fri Jan 7 21:21:23 UTC 2022

I think the hope of the authors, supporters and promoters of this policy 
is that the other RIRs will begin to discard IPv4 as the implementation 
of IPv6 increases in their regions - what if this doesn't happen as 
desired? Surprisingly. the AfriNIC region that is lagging, and should 
have considered some leap-frogging, rather we are here trying to protect 
what possibly is being discarded.

I am still not convince that this policy solves or addresses what we 
want. I would rather go for a Number Resource Transfer Policy that is 
fluid and allows a free flow of IPv4 in and out of region. The 
reservations being express are not tenable.

Simply,

Daniel
