<div dir="ltr">Dear all, <div><br></div><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><br></div><div>Elvis. </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Sep 17, 2020 at 3:01 PM Darwin Costa <<a href="mailto:dc@darwincosta.com">dc@darwincosta.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">Cmon folks….!<div><br></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….

<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 proposal as
written below;</div>
<div><br>
</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>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So what are you talking about?</div>
