… AFRINIC has not figured out all the finer details yet either and we still have further internal discussions to go through as well as communications with out community. But in broad strokes we’re on board with this overall outline, and working with RIPE folks.

I’ll try to address some other the other points raised in this thread from my point of view too in a few following mails.

My hope is that both our communities mostly agree that while getting this done is certainly work for many people covering two RIR’s staff, various larger operators globally, and probably a good many AFRINIC members, the end result will be an improved state of affairs.

Regards,
Daniel
