Which exactly the cause the problem in the very first place,  internet is
one, we will need an unified registration system to clean up the current
mass of DBs, but again, that’s another discussion.

I will try to have Afrinic put out an “exact” timeline, and I agree with
you exact timeline is important.

Again, I don’t disagree with fixing the problem, and I am victim of those
abuse as well.

Fundamentally, while internet is one, separate registration system cause
the root of this very problem, if we have one database, we will not have a
problem like this to fix to begin with.

I will try my best to have Afrinic, and hopefully Other community member
can join as well, to fix the IRR at an known time frame.
