[rpd] Gauging Interest in a possible policy change

[Seun Ojedeji]

Hi Andrew,

AFRINIC does have an existing code of conduct[1] whether it is sufficient
in present realities is a different thing.

I do not believe the rpd need to have a different CoC but I think it may be
appropriate for rpd to document the process to follow when AFRINIC CoC is
violated.
