You wrote this ... "I know for sure some AFRINIC hostmasters did their<br>

Go and read my exploits and position with the now dead and buried<br>
Academic policy, co-authored with Andrew Alston, who is now also a<br>
Board member. We crooned, begged, preached and populated the mailing<br>

up! There is no room for selective Amnesia here.<br>

Ask our hostmasters after the next hostmasters' report at the next<br>
meeting in MU. If you want them to seek approval from you, propose a<br>
policy in that regard.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>Why wait for the meeting in MU? As much as I can remember as an AFRINIC hostmaster, allocations greater than /16 IPv4 have to be approved by management and board based on hostmasters recommendation.

Cool. I however have not seen anyone display some lack of<br>
understanding of our policies here, rather the deliberate attempt to<br>
pull down the house.<br>
