</div>By default all ressources are subjected to an audit as specified by RSA and the allocation/assignment policies.<br>
<br>
The review policy proposal defines how AFRINIC could best conduct these reviews:<br>
<br>
- Randomly select ressources<br>
- Attend to reported ressources<br>
- Select ressources for internal reasons<br>
<br>
All at staff discretion...<br>
