Can you please explain exactly what the problem with having this maximum is when people have the option to specify lower? <u></u><u></u></span></p>

The issue here should not be the IP allocation ratio because if that will be the case, we will come back to the drawing board tomorrow to try and draft another proposal for 1:10 after the 1:5 can no longer suit our needs in the near future.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>To avoid such a situation how about we work on finding a way of making life easier in the case where a University that needs more IP's can get them without any issues for as long as they justify the need.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>NOTE: We have different LIR's across this continent and each of them applies for allocation based on their need. Supposed it was compulsory for each LIR to get a specific assignment, say a /16, then it would mean even a small ISP with less that 1000 customers would get such a huge allocation and just seat on it because the policy allows it. No No No.... get small and grow with it. Get Big and grow with it. There should not be any kind of formula.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>if the issue is AfriNIC's policing when it comes to IP allocation process, then how about we raise our concerns to them since they work for us and we are the bosses and make sure we fix that and everyone is happy. Are they being had???? then lets draft a policy which would make life easier '-)</div>
