HOWEVER, Andrew's policy cleverly tackles that by saying the foreign entity would pay the prevailing membership fee +100%. Meaning, whatever the Board decides + 100% (difficult mathematical way of saying doubling the amount ;-)<br><br>walu.<br><br><br>--- On <b>Mon, 5/9/11, McTim <i><dogwallah@gmail.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: McTim <dogwallah@gmail.com><br>Subject: Re: [AfriNIC-rpd] AFPUB-2011-v4-003-draft-02 - Limited Out ofRegion Allocation of IPv4 Resources<br>To: "Andrew Alston" <aa@tenet.ac.za><br>Cc: rpd@afrinic.net<br>Date: Monday, May 9, 2011, 7:53 AM<br><br><div class="plainMail">On Sun, May 8, 2011 at 9:39 PM, Andrew Alston <<a ymailto="mailto:aa@tenet.ac.za"
