I don’t believe that’s the case… I think that the incident to which you are referring is a little different and I’ll send you more details off-list. AfriNIC policy never (to date) allowed any sort of transfer or sale into APNIC, and I do not know of any such move. > Did such an incident happen and is this (or possibly AfriNIC's proposed) > policy based on that?

Will send you more details on the specific case off-list.
