1.0 Summary of the Problem Being Addressed by this Policy Proposal<br>
<br>
As Internet Number resources are finite, their allocation is based
on the operational needs of end-users and Internet Services
Providers, while avoiding stockpiling in accordance with RFC7020,
IPv4 Allocation Policy CPM 5.5, IPv6 Allocation and assignment
policy CPM 6.5 and Policy for Autonomous System Numbers (ASN)
Management in the AFRINIC region CPM 7.0.Section 4 of the
Registration Service Agreement (RSA) provides the framework for
investigations of the usage of allocated Internet Number
resources, defines members’ obligation to cooperate and the
measures to be taken by AFRINIC in case of failure to comply. The
lack of such investigation or regular control can lead to
inefficient usage of the Internet Number resources, to stockpiling
and other type of abuses.<br>
<br>
2.0 Summary of How this Proposal Addresses the Problem<br>
<br>
In order to ensure efficient and appropriate use of resources,
AFRINIC shall conduct regular reviews of resource utilization held
by its members. This would allow recovery of any type of resource,
where usage is not in compliance with the RSA. Those resources can
be reallocated for better usage.<br>
<br>
3.0 Proposal<br>
<br>
The policy proposal will modify the CPM as follows:<br>
<br>
Insert a section 13 to the CPM as follows:<br>
<br>
13.0 Internet Number Resources Review<br>
<br>
13.1 The reviews shall be based on compliance with the terms
outlined in the<br>
RSA and Allocation/Assignment Policies.<br>
<br>
13.2 The reviews cover all allocated/Assigned resources, but
priority goes<br>
to IPv4 and ASN mappable to two-octet ASN.<br>
<br>
13.3 Classes of review: Members to be reviewed shall be selected
according<br>
to the following classes:<br>
<br>
13.3.1 Random<br>
<br>
The member is chosen by AFRINIC at random between members of the
following categories:<br>
• Medium and above<br>
• IPv6-only Large<br>
• EU-AS<br>
<br>
13.3.2 Selected<br>
<br>
A) member is selected because of an internal report or due to a
lack of contact between the AFRINIC and the member.<br>
<br>
13.3.3 Reported: Here, members are reviewed either because:<br>
<br>
A) They have requested the review themselves or<br>
B) There has been a community complaint made against them that
warrants investigation. Complaints shall be backed by evidence and
AFRINIC staff shall evaluate the facts as appropriate to conduct
the review. However this review is not applicable to a member
with the same resources portfolio on which a full review has been
completed in the preceding 24 months.<br>
<br>
13.4 In case of non-compliance and if evidence has been
established in accordance with:<br>
<br>
• Breach of AFRINIC policies<br>
• Breach of the provisions of the registration service
agreement or other legal agreements between the organization
holding the resource and AFRINIC.<br>
<br>
AFRNIC shall initiate the resource recovery process. AFRINIC shall
attempt to contact the organization and correct any discrepancy
towards the RSA. If the situation cannot be rectified, AFRINIC
shall publish the resources to be recovered for a period of three
(3) months; during which the organization may at any time, seek
compliance. After this period, the resource shall be recovered and
therefore the records of the previous holder of the recovered
resource shall be updated in AFRINIC’s databases. Any Internet
Number Resources recovered under this policy may be
assigned/allocated under existing Allocation and Assignment
Policies.<br>
<br>
13.5 Appeal procedure<br>
<br>
The review shall be conducted in full transparency and neutrality.<br>
<br>
Reviewed members who are not satisfied have the right to appeal
against the result. Appeals shall follow an arbitration process
as defined by AFRINIC, which shall publish the process and the
pool of arbitrators whom shall be knowledgeable volunteers from
the community. The outcome of the arbitration process is
unequivocal.<br>
<br>
13.6 Compliance Report<br>
<br>
AfriNIC shall publish an annual report describing review
activities, in accordance with Mauritius Data Protection Act and
NDA with members.<br>
