I didn't intend to make anything personal, so phrased differently:<br>
What you highlight is ultimately a problem between AfriNIC members and<br>
the AfriNIC organisation.<br>
<br>

<br>
I am sympathetic, but RIPE has no obligation to keep a glaring<br>
security hole open to accommodate another RIR's lack of expedience.<br>
<br>
As I mentioned at the microphone at the last DB-WG session, right now<br>
I can simply register ALL not-yet-registered IP space in the RIPE NCC<br>
database and in doing so lock out anyone else from making any<br>
registrations for non-RIPE-managed space. There is nothing in place to<br>
stop anyone from doing so, this would immediately fix the security<br>
problem. I hope this both illustrates the size of the security hole<br>
and the problem of any business process relying on the existence of<br>
the hole.<br>
