The impact assessment is published on the website next to the proposal. Based on the inputs from authors mostly during the PPM discussions, who at times respond to the elements raised in the impact assessment, the latter will be revised & updated on the website.</span></p>

For any inter-RIR transfer policies, the reciprocity with other RIRs will also be updated on the impact assessment so that they are publicly available to the community.</span></p>

These sections will be progressively updated in all the impact assessments of the proposals currently under discussion on the AFRINIC website. AFRINIC staff will also be updating the impact assessments with the inputs received from the authors during the AFRINIC-32 PPM that was held in September 2020.</span></p>
