And section 4 of  the IANA’s report on recognition of AfriNIC as a Regional Internet Registry(1) reads :<br>
<br>
====<br>
4) Neutrality and impartiality in relation to all interested parties, and particularly the LIRs<br>
<br>
The AfriNIC application satisfies Principle 4. AfriNIC is an independent, not-for-profit, and open membership association. The submitted AfriNIC bylaws and policies provide for equal treatment, fair distribution of resources, and impartial treatment of members and requestors. As reaffirmed in AfriNIC’s application:<br>
<br>
The AfriNIC organizational structure is set to encourage a bottom-up self governance management model where policies and other organizational functions are determined by the community in general and members who elect representatives that sit on the Board of Directors.<br>
<br>
As confirmed by the NRO, AfriNIC’s activities during the transition period have demonstrated full compliance with these principles.<br>
<br>
========<br>
<br>
Principle 4 of the ICP-2 which defines criteria for establishment of new regional internet registries (2)<br>
