Actually, my response and new version had an additional delay, because the IA published was from another proposal, so I couldn’t read the IA when I was expecting to do it.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>By the way, those emails from the chairs are very useful, however, it will be more useful if either plain text or html is used, so then we can respond in-line to each of the points. The are images, which make that impossible.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><ol style='margin-top:0cm' start=1 type=1><li class=MsoListParagraph style='color:black;margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo5'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt'>Regarding the absence of the “hold down”. I was not convinced myself it that’s needed and I double-checked what other RIRs equivalent policies have on that. The only one that has this is LACNIC, and unfortunatelly I don’t recall the discussion (if any) for the need for that. However, I’ve asked the AFRINIC staff for examples about why this may be required and how the abuse may be produced, and I didn’t got any response on that. My rationale is that if there are some resources transferred, and then after weeks or months, the justification for the need dissapear (for example, bussiness model change, or they have deployed IPv6 and they need less IPv4 resources), why not those resources can be transferred again? In fact this is good for the community because instead of someone having resources that aren’t being used, someone else could make use of them. So in summary, this observation from the IA is not justified and can’t be considered as a valid objection.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ol><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>Chairs shall notice that even if the impact analysis is extremely useful to authors and community, the staff can have a totally different view from the community, so the impact analysis is good as a point for discussion but never can be considered “per se” as objections unless duly justitified.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><ol style='margin-top:0cm' start=2 type=1><li class=MsoListParagraph style='color:black;margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo5'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt'>Regarding the AFRINIC role, while this is not considered in any other RIR, because in my opinion is something very obvious (the role of the RIR is just helping, and the final responsibility is on the source and recipient of the transfers), I understand that having some text that clarify that is not harming, so I’ve added section 5.7.6 (Due digilence) in the new version of the proposal to address it.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ol><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><ol style='margin-top:0cm' start=3 type=1><li class=MsoListParagraph style='color:black;margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo5'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt'>Regarding the RSA signature, again, while I believe this is obvious and once more is not explicit in other RIRs, I’ve added text to clarify it. Note that there is no such 3.6 in the proposal, so I believe there is some mismatch in your text, may be chairs also reading the wrong IA? So, in summary, section 5.7.3.3 of the proposal, already was clear, but now has been eddited to be even more exlicit on this in 5.7.3.1.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ol><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><ol style='margin-top:0cm' start=4 type=1><li class=MsoListParagraph style='color:black;margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo5'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt'>Section 5.7.5 has been updated to be more clear and now explicitly allows that other violations of the RSA/CPM aren’t “protected” by the pre-check.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ol><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><ol style='margin-top:0cm' start=5 type=1><li class=MsoListParagraph style='color:black;margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo5'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt'>There is an additional point in this version of the proposal that I noticed while doing other edits. I’ve amended across all the text “organization” with “entity” because organization is the wrong term and it will be discriminatory. If we use “organization”, it may be understood (in laws terms) as only legally constituted organizations (in law terminology “juridical person”). If an “individual” has resources (even legacy), under its own “personal” (“natural person” in law terminology), “organization” will NOT allow the transfers in that case. In other RIRs the terminology/wording being used doesn’t create this problem. So using “entity”, doesn’t create this problem or any other problems. I’ve asked the staff about that and at the moment got no response.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ol><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><ol style='margin-top:0cm' start=6 type=1><li class=MsoListParagraph style='color:black;margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo5'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt'>Finally, in my understanding the changes apllied to this version of the proposal doesn’t change the already confirmed recipocity status vs. other RIRs (reciprocal with all the other RIRs), as it is not impossing any condition that affer the other RIRs.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ol><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>I believe I’ve resolved the issues from the previous version IA, so even if I understand that time is too short, it will be good if the staff can do a quick check *<b>before</b>* the PPM, in case we have further questions to clarify, so we avoid unncesary discussions/waste of time in the PPM.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>I will like to add something, valid for all the proposals. Even if the IAs are coming extremely late and that makes very dificult to authors to react and provide new versions with sufficient anticipation to the PPM, I want to congratulate the staff because the way they are cooperating with authors is very efficient and I believe fruitful towards facilitating the discovery of possible issues. I’m not saying that I agree in all their points, but at least, they make you consider all the possible issues and how better organize the proposal text to facilitate the community understanding of the
