<p class="MsoNormal">I mean, who do the brokers benefit if not themselves? In Rabat in Morocco in 2008, I stood on the floor during the PPM meeting and expressed my distaste for IPv$ because I clearly understood the impact that a single IPv4 address can have
socioeconomically. Therefore if there is knowledge/whispers within the African Internet community about some resource members who somehow managed to forge their application for membership and ended up getting resources which are being monetized instead of
being used to build Internet Infrastructure in the continent, then this policy proposal becomes even more riskier for Africa to say the least.

I can only say that I hope that -someone- will provide a definitive<br>
answer.<br>
<br>
I should perhaps clarify that my interest in knowing the<br>
current operative meaning of Section 6.1 of the Afrinic Bylaws<br>
is a consequence of my belief that more than one party that is<br>
located outside of the Afrinic region and that is providing -no-<br>
services whatsoever within the Afrinic region are already enjoying<br>
the benefits arising from the exclusive use of Afrinic-assigned<br>
IPv4 number resources.<br>
<br>
In a couple of cases, in particular, this is troubling to me for<br>
various specific reasons. Now I just want to know if the relevant<br>
specific assignments even comport with the Afrinic Bylaws, as<br>
written and as currently construed. Do they or don't they? I am<br>
still seeking a definitive answer.<br>
<br>
