<div dir="ltr">Recently an article about the proposal (link below 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. <div><br></div><div><a href="https://afrinic.net/en/community/policy-development/policy-proposals/2061-anti-shutdown-01">https://afrinic.net/en/community/policy-development/policy-proposals/2061-anti-shutdown-01</a></div><div><br></div><div>The article about the proposal is here</div><div><a href="https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/04/12/no_ip_addresses_for_countries/">https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/04/12/no_ip_addresses_for_countries/</a></div><div><br></div><div>Enjoy! </div><div>----Cathy<br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">{Ô,Ô}</font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">  (( ))</font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">  ◊  ◊</font></div></div></div></div>
