Dear all, I have been following this policy discussion passionately.
I do understand the need of keeping Internet up all the time knowing it's importance for economies, educations, developpement and other. We should engage countries using different channels such AFGWG, AU and other multistakeholder in our community. What this policy is trying to solve is not in AfriNIC mandate or might potentially serve personal interest and other interest groups not even the people's or Community at large. I recall during AfriNIC meeting in Mauritius last December 2016, the same group of people claim that the Audit Policy put the organizational at Risk because it will revoke ressouces if Members dit not complied. Today theu want AfriNIC to revoke ressouces. What will the anti - shutdown do to the organization? To be honest this policy is not solving anything instead is putting AfriNIC at high risk and need to be withdrawn.

It has appeared all over twitter, it appeared on theregister.co.uk, it has appeared in discussion I read and this is sad. In that fake article like Donald Trump would say, it states that: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/04/12/no_ip_addresses_for_countries/ "Governments that cut off internet access to their citizens could find themselves refused new IP addresses under a proposal put forward by one of the five global IP allocation organizations." The fake article continues with another lie about the Afrinic meeting in Botwana in June as below. "The suggested clampdown <https://www.afrinic.net/en/community/policy-development/policy-proposals/2061-anti-shutdown-01> will be considered at the next meeting of internet registry Afrinic in Botswana in June: " This Writter Mccarthy must have been paid to promote this nonsense about the Afrinic and our region and to make it worse its on foreign media. What kind of image such article will have on the Afrinic. Did the Arthors have anything to do with this.? Can the Afrinic condemn this kind of article written to disgress it even if the Afrinic condemns internet shuts.
