Personally I have another take on this - I do not agree with spam - or harvesting emails - period - so will start there.
I do however think that it may be worth considering an opt in/opt out list for attendees of AfriNIC meetings where people who wish to promote services or give general information about what they are doing etc may be worth having. This creates a situation where it avoids to the spam, it’s opt in so people who do want to see services on offer by attendees have the option of subscribing, and it lets the community market their services to each other. I would have no issue with the existence of such a list.

I'm also not sure preventing them from reaching out to the community for their business is also feasible. The only real defence that I see is equipping the community with sufficient knowledge about this so folk are not easily swayed by the glorious promises of engaging with them. Mark.

I'm representing IPv4 Services, a registered broker in RIPE, ARIN and APNIC. We are attending at AFRINIC 31 in Luanda, Angola, and would be a pleasure to meet people that are open to a potential collaboration regarding IPv4 resources. We are planning to establish new connections and find AFRINIC based business partners for selling/leasing/purchase of IPv4 addresses.
