<div>Hi SM,</div>

<div class="gmail_quote">
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">If we have to come up with a definition, we would have to discuss about whether the community is only open to people within the AfriNIC service region. Having qualifications in a document about policy development can be a problem. If anyone wants to suggest text for such a definition, I'll add it to the draft or else I'll leave it to AfriNIC to define that in its materials.</blockquote>

<div>I believe that there're instances where we'll need to _specifically_ refer to people from the AfriNIC service region and other cases where we'll need to refer to the global Internet community.</div>
