<br>
At the end of the last call period for the policy proposal "AFPUB-2016-GEN-001-DRAFT-04 - Internet Number Resources Review by AFRINIC", while there is support for a review of Internet Number Resources in general, the current text needs improvement to address issues raised.<br>
<br>
The PDWG Co-chairs decision is to hereby return this policy proposal to the mailing list for refinement.<br>
<br>
This is to produce a policy (proposal) that is not subject to misinterpretation or abuse. Mitigations to any valid legal risks to AFRINIC should also be clearly written into the policy proposal.<br>
<br>
To avoid a scenario where some points are skipped, co-chairs have helped break the current draft into line items with (we hope, all of) the pending comments appended. It is expected that further revisions to the proposal follow this piece-by-piece approach.<br>
<br>
If a comment was omitted, please bring it to our notice so it can be added. While it is noted that authors have indeed responded to most of the comments after the PPM, for avoidance of misinterpretation, the last draft document (version 4) is the only consideration.<br>
<br>
