Dear Noah,
The AFRINIC ICP-2 Review webinar (recording is available online:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKxyUB5APkk) was attended by 91
participants in total (78 on zoom and 13 on AFRINIC's YouTube channel).
As far as I know, it was also publicized on various AFRINIC community
lists as well as other community mailing lists within the region.
I am not sure which blocked mailing lists you are referring to, but the
AFRINIC ICP-2 Review mailinglist received feedback from several people
(https://lists.afrinic.net/pipermail/icp2-review/).
I assure you that all input is being recorded and will be carefully
considered by the NRO NC in preparing the next version of the draft
document.
Regards,
Andrei
NRO NC member, speaking for myself

There have been some webinars here and there where very few members of
the afrinic community participated since community mailing lists were
blocked.
I am curious to know what inputs have been picked up from the afrinic
community if any considering the wide lack of participation by the
African community in this entire process under current circumstances.
Cheers,

Job –
The assertion that the NRO NC is representing the RIRs rather than the
community isn’t correct, as the NRO Number Council is predominantly
composed of community-elected representatives.
Each of the five RIRs provides two elected members and one appointed
member, meaning a full two-thirds are selected by the community
through
open and transparent regional elections that offer any eligible member
of the RIR community a chance to run and/or vote for the chosen
candidate. i.e. the NRO NC is very much the community’s body for
global
numbers policy.
(It is important to distinguish the NRO NC from the NRO EC – the
latter
of which could indeed be characterized as “representing the RIRs,”
in so
much as it serves to coordinate various joint RIR activities necessary
for consistent global number registry operations.)
As Hervé noted, the NRO NC established the consultation timeline to
allow sufficient time for review and deliberation at the upcoming
ICANN
meeting – and this consultation is only one segment of a broader,
ongoing
process that began in October 2023. There will be further
opportunities for
community engagement on the document and the NRO NC is now clearly
aware that there may be substantial issues that were only raised
in the final
days of the consultative period and to use appropriate care in
that regard
when making any updates.
(One could even imagine that they might make no refinements to the
present draft in light of your concern about submissions in the
final days
and inability to fully respond, but I do hope this is not the case
– as I expect
there’s likely at least some areas where there has been ample
community
input and that at least some additional clarity and progress can
be made in
those areas.)
Thanks,
/John
