<p>I support the RPKI ROA policy as written. I understand the
technical aspects of the policy. I have a feeling that those
objecting may not completely understand the technical aspects
which is why they are objecting.</p>
<p>AFRINIC's job is to properly document the resources they have
been provided by ICANN/IANA and this is simply part of the job.
When new resources are provided to AFRINIC, they label it as such
(AS0, etc). When it is then allocated/assigned to a member, the
AS0 RPKI is removed. All this means is that the
unallocated/unassigned resources that are with AFRINIC can be
(optionally) identified as such and thus can not be easily misused
by bad actors. This also means that when they are
allocated/assigned to members, they are less lightly to have been
made "dirty".<br>

<div>The AFRINIC as an organization specifically focuses on the
registration database and thereby having knowledge of where
the prefix belongs to and AFRINIC should just focus on this
role and should not engage in authenticating or the
authorization of various services. If such rights are given to
any organization, they have the right to assign prefixes to
servers hence, having control of the routing database at which
a technical or human error will lead to an immense catastrophe
to the internet society. This control is basically the
specific definition of centralization. This centralization is
the major reason why most providers do not trust the Resource
Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI). I am still in opposition to
this policy proposal. </div>

<div>@Elvis, I really don’t see your point here and also
don’t really understand why are you opposing against this
proposal.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As mentioned further on the thread - RPKI won’t change
Afrnic´s role at all…. Instead this proposal will
certainly contribute to a more secure routing

<div>As such, other RIR´s have successfully implemented this

<p>I think there is a serious issue by some people
totally misunderstanding what RPKI actually is.</p>
<p>Some arguments saying something like 'Afrinic
will centralize control of the internet and
should not have such power' don't have relation
to what what this proposal intends and the
reasons to oppose it are not tied to real
possible problems pointed.<br>
</p>
<p>This proposal only follows what have been done
in APNIC and LACNIC and is a natural move to
make an internet more secure and avoid
organizations to use space that is not assigned
to anyone else.<br>
Therefore I support this proposal.</p>

<div>You must be clear on which AFRINIC
address space rather than presenting a
rather vague statement. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The proposal is very clear and explicit
and the AFRINIC space in question is that
which has not yet been allocated or
assigned to any entity or resource member.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I will quote for you section 2.0 of the

</div>
<div><b>2.0 Summary of how this proposal
addresses the problem</b></div>
<div><b><br>
</b>This proposal instructs AFRINIC to
create ROAs for all <b>unallocated and
unassigned address space under its
control.</b> This will enable networks
performing RPKI-based BGP Origin
Validation to easily reject all the bogon
announcements covering resources managed
by AFRINIC.<br>
