The current draft is AFPUB-2011-v4-001-draft-01. A proposal can only become a policy if it has the consensus of the Policy Development Working Group and it has been approved by the AfriNIC Board of Directors.<br><br>The Interim co-chairs of the AfriNIC Policy Development Working Group never made any determination about whether there is consensus on AFPUB-2011-v4-001-draft-01 or made any recommendation on this proposal to the AfriNIC Board of Directors.<br><br>Regards,<br>S.
