The Resource Policy Discussion (RPD) mailing list is the primary public forum where AFRINIC community members propose, debate, and reach consensus on rules for managing Africa’s IP address resources. It drives the bottom-up Policy Development Process (PDP), ensures operational transparency, and grants stakeholders a direct voice in regional Internet self-governance.Core Importance of the RPD ListOpen Participation: Allows anyone—regardless of geographic location or membership status—to freely contribute to African Internet policy.Consensus Building: Serves as the core testing ground where draft policies are scrutinized before being recommended to the AFRINIC Board.Equitable Governance: Protects the fair distribution of scarce resources like IPv4 and IPv6 addresses across the continent.Community Accountability: Maintains a public, archived history of all debates, preserving transparency and organizational trust.If you'd like, I can provide details on:How to subscribe to the RPD mailing list The stages a policy proposal goes through from RPD to board adoption.
