Dewole, That information is already available based on space allocated. It would be a violation of the MSA and privacy clauses to disclose any application before it is granted.
The whois database contains the rest of the information as does the delegation database, just a matter of correlating them. I for one would not support AfriNIC directly exposing the names of clients being allocated space, as I believe that it violates aspects of the MSA and violates the principles of trust.

Please do not attempt to declare anything on my behalf. If an applicant knows the community sees in realtime, he/she is less likely to put in phony stuff that just wastes the hostmasters' time and increases the time taken to process legit requests.

I agree the actual allocated/assigned ranges need not be disclosed; I do however think that sharing the names of (applicant) organizations will help with responsibility and possibly reduce the occurrence of phony applications (if there have been any). Isn't that basically declaring you don't trust AFRINIC staff to do the right thing? What I tend to hear (happened twice today) is that the Hostmasters are so strict - its extremely difficult to get things done (according to the entities moaning at me). I therefore trust the Hostmasters - they are doing the right thing. Dewole. On 07/11/2016 15:35, Mark Elkins wrote: Interesting. I think though a once-a-week stats figure would be sufficient - perhaps with a projected end date? I've seen that before somewhere.... AFRINIC should not give out the names of the organisations receiving the address space or the actual ranges themselves though.

Given increased depletion rates, I think having these details in (almost) real-time will increase the community's awareness rather than rely solely on the biannual statistical updates (which in any case do not contain details of who is making attempts to acquire number resources). I think the Org Name, Country, Type and size of resource requested/approved would be even more useful than the resource type/size and country data already available in delegation stats at ftp://ftp.afrinic.net/pub/stats/afrinic/ This would be purely operational and a community value addition so it should not require a new policy, right?
