</span>Dear Koffi and Omo,<br>
<br>
I am not holding brief for any applicant or hostmaster, but if a<br>
request comes, that shows that an LIR can, and will allocate a /12,<br>
you want AfriNIC to allocate a /22? Is that the interpretation of 8.3?<br>
to wit:<br>
<br>
<BEGIN 8.3><br>
AFRINIC shall apply a slow start mechanism to all new LIRs. With<br>
respect to allocations made by AFRINIC, the first allocation an LIR<br>
receives will be the size of the minimum practical allocation<br>
described in Section 8.2 (a) unless otherwise justified.<br>
The slow start policy is used by all RIR's to prevent allocations of<br>
large blocks of address space that may then remain substantially<br>
unassigned. AFRINIC implements the slow start mechanism in a<br>
consistent and fair manner for every LIR, and will apply the same<br>
principles and standards to every applicant for address space.<br>
<END 8.3><br>
<br>
What about the last clause ... "unless otherwise justified?". Are you<br>
saying that:<br>
o Applicant did not provide justification<br>
o Applicant provided justification but was not ok with hostmasters<br>
o Applicant provided justification and it was ok<br>
o Applicant provided fraudulent justification<br>
o None of the above.<br>
<br>
Omo's email further gives nuances to some preferential actions, apart<br>
from previous accusations of corruption. What exactly are we dealing<br>
with?<br>
