Sure it's difficult to make such restriction and it's really not a path that will yield much success. However I believe it's possible to ensure those organisation are indeed well grounded African organisation before handing resources to them.<br>

This is pure discrimination on race.<br>

Did you imagine that "African" referred to a racial group? It doesn't. As should have been obvious from the context, "African" refers to a geographic region.<div class=""><br>

Wether one is a well grounded or startup "African", "Mauritian", etc.., all of them should be treated equally.<br>

Policies and official documents should probably refer to "the Afrinic service region" instead of "Africa", to make it clear that Mauritius and other islands are included. I don't think that people discussing things in a mailing list will remember to do that, so if you read "African" please understand "in the Afrinic service region".<br>
