This is simply a more formal wording of my intent, so, I have no problem
with that if the AC feels that level of formailty is necessary.

Again, I believe this is just a formalization of the intent of my statement.

I think this is mooot if Question 1 passes.  If Question 1 does not carry,
then, I believe Question 3 is necessary regardless of the outcome of
Question 2.  As such, I support this change.

I'm not sure whether that would still meet the needs of AfriNIC, so, absent
positive comment on this from them, I would hesitate to introduce such a
question.  I don't think we should do this if they don't support it.

I have no problem with this.  I view it as a formalization of what I 
originally
posted.
