"This proposal limits LIRs and End-Users from obtaining reverse
delegation (rDNS) from AFRINIC unless the address space is assigned or
sub-allocated in the AfriNIC Database."

In other words, no reverse DNS unless SWIP/rwhois.

I assume you want to improve the accuracy of the registry database
while giving ARIN the ability to enforce registration requirements,
correct?

This is one potential way to give the RIR a stick in which to enforce
the registration of assignments in the database.

Don't they already have the ability to revoke under clearly defined conditions?
