[rpd] Ratified Policy Proposal - AFPUB-2020-GEN-006-DRAFT03 AFRINIC Number Resource Policy Transfer

[Seun Ojedeji]

Hi Noah,

I agree that issues with a policy can be fixed by proposing new policy.
However I do not believe that should be applicable to a policy that has
just been approved if there is indeed an implementation issue then there is
nothing wrong with the board coming back to highlight the challenges and
rescending on their prior approval if necessary to give opportunity for the
pdwg to address the issue.

That said, I do not see an issue with the currently approved policy. As
Gregoire rightly noted, last bullet point of section 3.6 addresses Owen's
concern. That understanding was also reinforced by point 7 of legal's staff
assessment of draft V2 of the policy in that the requirement for RSA,
adherence to AFRINIC policy et all only refers to inbound transfers.

Regards
