    <p>Some brokers are fairer than others.</p>
    <p>When you go to the market, do you expect that the person selling
      you everything you buy made it themselves? No, you expect a broker
      to find someone who has a thing to sell and someone who wants to
      buy the thing and bring them together. A broker can also help make
      sure that the agreed price is paid and that the thing is
      delivered.<br>
    </p>
    <p>Do you need a broker? No, if you know someone who has addresses
      and is willing to give them to you, then you are welcome to do
      that. <br>

          <div>In Rabat in Morocco in 2008, I stood on the floor during

            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

    <p>Are there such members? You say that if there is fraud, then this
      policy is risky.</p>
    <p>I wonder if people who committed fraud to obtain addresses would
      be honest enough to keep those addresses inside Africa, because of
      current policy. <br>
