Dear Community Members,<br>
<br>
I would like to comment on AFPUB-2014-GEN-002-DRAFT-01<br>
<br>
In my humble opinion the split 40/60% is not appropriate and<br>
"Out-Of-Region use" definition is something inappropriate for Internet<br>
in general. Why you do not offer 30/70% or 50/50%? How did you come up<br>
with 40/60% figures?<br>
<br>
The percentage of "Out-Of-Region use" cannot be indifferent to type of<br>
business companies do.<br>
<br>
For instance we take an African local ISP. Why they could need 40% of<br>
allocated space for use outside of Africa? It would eventually seduce<br>
them into sell/rent IPs only. Normally they would need less then 1%<br>
and in very rare cases only.<br>
<br>
Or for instance take a satellite services company that would like to<br>
focus on serving customers that Out-Of-Region. Then all is opposite and<br>
they need 1% of allocated space for infrastructure use at African<br>
Satellite HUB and the rest 99% will be on customer end. Will you close<br>
the door for such business?<br>
<br>
We can discuss many other options like VPNs, Clouds, CDNs etc but<br>
obviously 40% of Internet number resources for use by a member to be<br>
outside the region is not a solution. The approach shall be beneficial<br>
for Afrinic in a way of controlling resources as well as maintain<br>
attractiveness for businesses.<br>
<br>
I kindly request to consider my reject on AFPUB-2014-GEN-002-DRAFT-01.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
