Dear Community Members,

Following the AFRINIC 25 meeting in Mauritius, the proposals under discussions during the Policy Development Working Group (PDWG) session on Tuesday, 29 November 2016 reached the following statuses:

Reached Consensus and moved to Final Call -----------------------------------------

- AFPUB-2016-V4-003-DRAFT02: IPv4 Resources Transfer within the AFRINIC region http://afrinic.net/en/library/policies/archive/1813-ipv4-resources-transfer-...

This proposal aims to solve the issue around enabling African organisations to receive IPv4 addresses even after IPv4 pool exhaustion or when AFRINIC can no longer satisfy the needs of such organisations.

Returned to the Mailing List for further discussion ---------------------------------------------------

- AFPUB-2016-GEN-002-DRAFT-01: Inbound Transfers Policy http://afrinic.net/en/community/policy-development/policy-proposals/1803-inb...

This proposal covers the inbound transfer of all resources from other RIRs to the AFRINIC service region. While the community has voiced concerns that enacting a transfer policy will result in the flow of resources off the continent, this policy addresses that by purely catering for inbound transfers.

- AFPUB-2016-GEN-001-DRAFT02: Internet Number Resources review by AFRINIC http://afrinic.net/en/community/policy-development/policy-proposals/1827-int...

This proposal gives AFRINIC authority to conduct regular reviews/ audits of resource utilisation to ensure efficient and appropriate use of resources. It allows for recovery of any type of resource where usage is not in compliance with the RSA or policy.

- AFPUB-2016-V4-001-DRAFT03: IPv4 Soft Landing – BIS http://afrinic.net/en/community/policy-development/policy-proposals/1815-ipv...

This proposal aims at introducing some provisions to the current soft landing policy to cater for reserving space to critical infrastructure, making a provision for late requesters and stipulating an IPv6 requirement for any company that requests space from the last /8.

- AFPUB-2016-V4-002-DRAFT01: Proposal: IPv4 Soft Landing Overhaul http://afrinic.net/en/community/policy-development/policy-proposals/1623-sof...

This proposal aims at maintaining the needs-based approach to issuing IPv4 space (by completely removing the current IPv4 Soft Landing Policy).
