[rpd] RPD Digest, Vol 222, Issue 124

Simply put:
AFRINIC as RIR may not make operational decisions without relevant
POLICY controlled by community. As such, if AFRINIC were to implement
contemplated restrictions (by way of operational choice) without
relevant policy, they'd be acting outside of their mandate.
