As far as I know,

EU-PI, as Frank has already stated, are end users with provider independent 
space - an entirely legitimate category.

Member-Only MAY refer to legacy resource organizations - I.E those who have 
legacy resources that, because of their legacy status, are not billed for, and 
hold no other resources.  Hence, if space was transferred in during the 
migration from other RIR's into AfriNIC, it is possible that they have this 
designation.  However, there is no way that an organization should receive an 
allocation from AfriNIC beyond the process sthat occurred to transfer in 
resources, and then be given this designation - that would almost certainly 
equate to a total fee waiver, and I would like to see the justification for 
such while the rest of us pay our fees.

Of course, some of this is supposition, and I would like to hear from the board 
if what I have stated above is actually accurate regarding the member only 
organisations.

Thanks

Andrew

But this change to "MEMBER-ONLY" seems to be 2.5 months after the ORG
received a /14 block.
Surely that was a substantial saving for ORG "ORG-IA41-AFRINIC".
And not for AfriNIC.
