Hi Jordi, Vincent, All,
Thank you for your cooperation and wish you could finish the combined proposal before next AfriNIC-6 meeting, to have time to discuss it in the list to hammer it out (as Andrew said) in the next meeting..


I hope no one minds me jumping in here,
It's never too late.

if anything I say has already been mentioned then please forgive me. I wish to say that I support the policy regarding the provision of PI assignments.

On the issues of size, a /48 is sufficient for anything which can be reasonably defined as an "end-site" and as far as I know is in line with original IETF assignment policies on the matter.

As for slack space for growing a range, this is a difficult issue but I think it is one which is a matter of assignment logistics and not assignment policy. Perhaps the provision of a /44 per /48 should be determined by the intended use of the block.
I agree with you and I think we should leave this to the RIR (AfriNIC) to determine when making the assignment.

The issue is what kinds of end-sites will want PI pool space at this time - these will in most cases be large organisations who can not yet negotiate an upstream assignment.
