Dear Koffi and Omo,<br>
<br>
I am not holding brief for any applicant or hostmaster, but if a<br>
request comes, that shows that an LIR can, and will allocate a /12,<br>
you want AfriNIC to allocate a /22? Is that the interpretation of 8.3?<br>
to wit:<br>
<br>
<BEGIN 8.3><br>
AFRINIC shall apply a slow start mechanism to all new LIRs. With<br>
respect to allocations made by AFRINIC, the first allocation an LIR<br>
receives will be the size of the minimum practical allocation<br>
described in Section 8.2 (a) unless otherwise justified.<br>
The slow start policy is used by all RIR's to prevent allocations of<br>
large blocks of address space that may then remain substantially<br>
unassigned. AFRINIC implements the slow start mechanism in a<br>
consistent and fair manner for every LIR, and will apply the same<br>
principles and standards to every applicant for address space.<br>
<END 8.3><br>
<br>
What about the last clause ... "unless otherwise justified?". Are you<br>
saying that:<br>
o Applicant did not provide justification<br>
o Applicant provided justification but was not ok with hostmasters<br>
o Applicant provided justification and it was ok<br>
o Applicant provided fraudulent justification<br>
o None of the above.<br>
<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>Sunday I believe AFRINIC hostmasters and management should answer this question. AFRINIC board is appointed by the member community and should assist to get the answers.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
Omo's email further gives nuances to some preferential actions, apart<br>
from previous accusations of corruption. What exactly are we dealing<br>
with?<br>
<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>AFRINIC hostmasters make recommendations to AFRINIC management with respect to allocations greater than /17. Again what recommendation did the hostmasters make to management?<br><br></div><div>Who constitute and what criteria is used to approve such huge allocations?<br></div><div><br></div><div>Cheers<br><br></div><div>K.<br></div><div><br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
Let me summarize Andrew's email again: When a Board begins to reach<br>
into operational matters not clearly in its charter or schedule, or<br>
not specifically assigned by policy, it is recipe for disaster.<br>
<br>
Sunday.<br>
