Every region has different policies.

The part of the RIPE region that is going to be AfriNIC soon has a
different policy from the "core" RIPE region, yes.  

This was, as I said, mainly done to get all the parts of Africa "in line" 
with a common policy - both the LIRs served by RIPE today, as well as the
LIRs served by ARIN today.

*All* policy is the way it is because the LIRs affected have requested
it, and achieved consensus on it.

You can read up the discussion and the motivation behind the change in 
the mailing list and meeting archives.

It's not necessary to discuss this again now.
