Dear Colleagues,
AfriNIC would like to inform you of a change in the format used to
name (filenames only) policy documents on its website. The new naming
scheme makes it easier to tell what a document is about and gives it
context before it is opened.
The new approved format for naming all policy documents on AfriNIC
websites is as follows.
AFPUB-YYYY-category-number
Where
- AFPUB is the approved prefix according to AfriNIC document numbering
guidelines.
- YYYY is the year in long format e.g. 2009
- category is the Category code - refers to what category this policy
addresses e.g. v4=IPv4, v6-IPv6, DNS=all DNS related, GEN=general and
all other, ASN=AS Numbers
- number is the Serial number within that year starting from 001.
As an example, AFPUB-2009-v6-002 is the second policy within 2009
relating to IPv6. As a further example, the existing IPv6 allocation
policy whose filename is afpol-v6200407-000 will now become
AFPUB-2004-v6-001
All links to old names will automatically be redirected to the
corresponding new documents, thus users of our website will not be
affected in any way.
The policy proposals with the naming system can be accessed at
http://www.afrinic.net/policy_new.htm
We intend to make these changes public by the 15th November 2009. If you
have any questions regarding this change, please direct them to
[email protected]
Thank You.
