the community to withdraw. The lack of withdrawal of softlanding-bis was pure bad faith – so I don’t believe that holds up in any way shape or form as a reason not to propose policy that may have a hope of passing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

another voice on the floor – and freedom of speech must prevail. You cannot supress the voices of those who strongly believe in their causes on the flimsy excuse that they hold some other position. That’s not the way it works.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

be heard – every member of the board, the nomcom, the governance committee and every other committee that exists, are STILL first and foremost members of this community. When an individual stands for position, they do not forsake their community membership,
and indeed, when they believe that they can propose something that is for the good of the community, they have a responsibility to do so – and their believes are not somehow given less credence because of position.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Chers membres de la communauté AFRINIC, je ne comprends absolument pas ce qui se passe, Afrinic, est-elle vraiment DIRIGÉE, GOUVERNÉE ??? Je n'en ai absolument pas l'impression, au vu de tout le désordre ogansé par certains membres du BOARD,
j'ai honte , vraiment honte. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><br>
Je sais que dans le PDP, tout le monde à la liberté de proposer un policy, mais à quoi servent les Co-Chairs, quel est leur rôle, encouragé le désordre ou modérer les propositions en invitant chacun à faire preuve de bon sens et de collaboration, pour éviter
déjà ce qui s'est passé, lorsqu'on s'est retrouver en présence de deux propositions contradictoire, et cela pour le simple but de contrer la 1ére proposition et de perdre du temps à la communauté sur des discussions sans fondement. Nous ne savons pas quel
plan ceux qui le font on en tête, mais AFRINIC est un bien public et communautaire, ce n'est pas la propriété privée des membres du BOARD, pour que des individus s'amusent à se jouer de la communauté au lieu de travailler ensemble pour avancer.

<p>Policy Proposal: Soft Landing SD<br>
<br>
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————<br>
ID: AFPUB2017V4001DRAFT01<br>
Submission Date: 30 March 2017<br>
Version: 1<br>
Author(s: <br>
Douglas Onyango (ondouglas at <a href="http://gmail.com" target="_blank">gmail.com</a>)<br>

Amends : Soft Landing Policy CPM 5.4 <br>
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><br>
1. Summary of the problem being addressed by this proposal<br>
<br>
The current SoftLanding Policy describes how AFRINIC should manage allocations/assignments from the last /8.<br>
<br>
While the stated policy objective is to ensure that allocations/assignments are managed in a manner that is acceptable to the AFRINIC community, there is a general feeling from the AFRINIC community that certain provisions in the policy are not consistent with
this objective. Specifically, the current Softlanding Policy:<br>
<br>
a. Allows a maximum allocation size of a /13 in Phase 1. The authors feel this is too large based on average allocation size, and can be abused.<br>
b. Allows organizations to request allocations/assignments without limiting the number of times or maximum size that can be requested. The authors of this policy feel this can advantage a few, mostly large organizations, at the expense of the general community,
and can also be abused.<br>
c. Does not make any specific provisions for new entrants. The authors feel that this might advantage existing organizations at the expense of new entrants.<br>
<br>
2. Summary of how this proposal addresses the problem<br>
<br>
This proposals tries to address these problems by:<br>
* Reducing the maximum prefix in phase 1. We arrived at this figure by looking at the average allocation prefix which is between /19 and /18 and then doubling that average allocation.<br>
* Disallowing allocation to organisations who have been allocated up to the maximum prefixes during each phase.<br>
* Adjusted the maximum prefix for phase 2, to bring it closer to average allocation size<br>
<br>
3. Proposal<br>
<br>
Modify Section 5.4.3.1 of the CPM to the following:<br>
<br>
Exhaustion Phase 1:<br>
During this phase, allocation/assignment of address space will continue as in the Current phase (/24 for a EU and /22 for a LIR) but the maximum will change from /10 to /17.<br>
<br>
Modify Section 5.4.3.2 of the CPM to the following :<br>
<br>
Exhaustion Phase 2<br>
During this phase a minimum allocation/assignment size will be /24, and the maximum will be /20 per allocation/assignment.<br>
<br>
Modify section 5.4.4 of the CPM to the following:<br>
For any LIR or End User requesting IPv4 address space during the Exhaustion There is no explicit limit on the number of times an organization may request additional IPv4 address space, so long as such organisation has not received allocations/assignments equivalent
to the maximum prefix during<br>
each phase.<br>
<br>
