<p>Dear Nonjabulo</p>
<p>Thanks for the query regarding as-set on RDAP .</p>
<p><i><a href="https://www.afrinic.net/whois-rdap.html">https://www.afrinic.net/whois-rdap.html </a> does
not mention as-set . RDAP being listed as affected system could
be a typo. We will verify internally and advise. If need be, the
staff assesment will be updated. </i></p>
<p>Kind Regards</p>
<p>Madhvi</p>
<p>-- AFRINIC Policy Liaison.</p>

<div dir="auto">I would also add one new open issue from the
Impact Assessment. It lists RDAP as an affected system and says
it will reflect AS-SET queries. However, the standard RDAP query
format defines queries for IP networks, AS numbers, domains,
nameservers, and entities, not RPSL AS-SET objects. The
assessment does not identify an AFRINIC-specific extension,
schema, or query path through which AS-SETs are exposed. </div>

<div dir="auto">This is not another request for the proposal to
solve an unrelated IRR problem. It is an unexplained statement
inside the implementation assessment itself. Staff should
clarify whether AFRINIC has a documented RDAP extension for
AS-SETs, how it works, and how consistency will be maintained
across WHOIS, MyAFRINIC, APIs, and any other creation interface.
If RDAP is not involved, it should not be listed as an affected
system.</div>

<div dir="auto">That issue should appear in the open-issues record
and be resolved before the proposal is declared ready. A
mandatory rule should be based on a precise and verifiable
implementation surface, not on assumptions left for
interpretation after ratification.</div>
