    <p>Hi all, <br>
    </p>
    <p>There has already been a lot of discussion about this proposal on
      the AFRINIC Resource Policy Discussion (rpd) mailing list:</p>
    <p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lists.afrinic.net/pipermail/rpd/2017/date.html">https://lists.afrinic.net/pipermail/rpd/2017/date.html</a></p>
    <p>Interestingly, the policy proposal was co-authored by a current
      AFRINIC Board member. <br>

        to policy text and article) was posted to the RIPE policy list. 
        This policy being discussed in AFRINIC is very interesting and
        different than any proposal I have seen so far.  I thought you
        all might be interested in reading the text.   It basically
        restricts access to IP addresses to governments who shut down
        Internet access.
