<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Hello Gents,<br>Thanks for the contributions.<br><br>May i point out that an earlier version of this document had the 10% that you now propose, the caveat was the fact that corporations could match into the continent and signup for addresses only to repatriate them to other regions, hence the 100% usage within the service region (as in current proposal).<br><br>The current 10% proposition brings this problem back to the table and if there is a different way of dealing with it or if you have plausible reason to believe "connect backs" should take priority over preservation of this very scarce resource, then be my guests.<br><br><br>Regards,<br>Douglas Onyango +256(0712)981329<br>
