No, the AfriNIC community incl major trasit-operators in the region have agreed to do that. The NIC does nothing other than what its community asks for. Unannounced blocks (PA or PI) and other "holes" in IR-assigned ranges should imho be limited until there are good and reliable mechanisms to verify the origin of individual prefixes. Hence it makes sense to implement aggressive policies to reclaim unused space and restrict private blocks to ULA. //per -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
