Hi Sylvain,

 

(subject changed and moved to RPD and we should follow the discussion there and 
not copy community, as it belongs to there)

 

I don’t think is so easy.

 

It is very normal, even in open organizations, to keep confidentiality in many 
documents. It could be even ruled as illegal if you don’t accept that in the 
CPM, if we ground the CPM under Mauritius law, which is an open question. 
However, the CPM implementation is done by the AFRINIC as a Mauritius legally 
constituted organization …

 

Remember that a justification for a resource request, can provide insights of a 
business plan and then you’re opening your business to your competitors.

 

So the point is if we can draft something in the line of:

 

***

(new section 3.3.4 “Publication of Information”)

IPv4 resources are scarce and close to exhaustion. So, following the principles 
of openness, transparency and fairness as set above, after “n” years of every 
allocation/assignment of IPv4 resources, the justification of the request must 
be published. Towards that, the resource member will be warned 3 months before 
the publication with a draft of the summary to be published,. It will have up 
to 1 month, to provide a demonstration of reasons why some of the details can’t 
be made public (such as patents or similar), that show the uniqueness nature of 
the services offered which, if disclosed, could damage the resource member 
business. The staff will have 1 month to decide if that’s the case, and in 
doubt, they will escalate to the Board that must resolve in a maximum of 1 
month.

This policy shall be implemented in such way that all the resources 
allocated/assigned for over “n” years, will be chronologically warned in such 
way that allows the staff to process the possible responses of “non-disclosure” 
without requiring extra human resources.

***

 

Now, we need to decide if this is good enough, and how many years for the “n”. 
2 years maybe?

 

I will love also to hear from legal counsel/Board and lawyers participating in 
the community, how they see it …

 

I’m not even sure myself, this could work, but we could try.

 

Regards,

Jordi

How come that INRs management becomes a 

matter of such secrets?

 

Please Jordi or any other volunteer, let me know if 

you are willing to contribute to draft a DPP to 

remove the possibility of keeping such, apparently, 

unjustified secrets.

 

 

We have already agreed that the original justification is no longer relevant 
and that, like any ISP in business for more than 8 years, things have changed 
and we have adapted.

 

Dear Owen,

 

...strange! is/was it an adaptation for the good of 

the AfriNIC's service region?

 

Please, could you enlightenned us on those 

interesting details?

 

...moving 90% of INRs out of the AfriNIC's service 

region, without any Inter RIR transfer policy, seems 

to be your best way to support the grow of this RIR 

region.

Because it is no longer relevant.

Jordi, maybe it's simply time to stop allowing such 

secrets.

 

 

In reality, even if a curative submission is required (if the last filed 
justification to which I do not have access, TBH), I would suggest they simply 
modify their justification to the following:

We will use the addresses to number internet connected hosts on our own 
infrastructure and on our customers’ networks.

This is a justification which meets the letter of the law of the policy and 
which does not preclude leasing.

 

 

Owen,

...are you considering the notions of *conservation*

 and *reservations*?

 

Knowing the understanding of the current 

implementers of the CPM, it's clear that one shall 

need to submit a convincing addressing plan 

before receiving any INR allocation.

 

Shalom, 

--sb.
