there is something general i am noting and and agree - that perhaps
the AfriNIC meetings should have a secretariate that produces formal

I assumed that AfriNIC had a secretariat for these meetings. If it
doesn't, then these AfriNIC meetings are being held in a haphazard manner.
However, I am note sure what the issue is with the Public Policy
Discussions since the website seem to capture the process fairly
comprehensively @
http://www.afrinic.net/documents.htm
AFPUB-2008-GEN-001 is dated 03 July 2007. The Status is
"Ratified". The document does not specify when the policy was
ratified and implemented.
AFPUB-2009-v4-001 is dated 16 February 2008. A "Draft" version is
available. According to the status, it is still "Open for Discussion".
AFPUB-2009-v4-002 was approved on "021 May 2009".
AFPUB-2008-ASN-001 is dated 27 May 2009 and has been ratified. The
document does not say when the policy was
implemented. AFPUB-2009-ASN-001 is also dated 27 May 2009. The
summary for these two proposals are similar. The summary says:
"According to the current global policy (afpol-asn200708)"
I cannot find afpol-asn200708 on the webpage you mentioned.
I don't know whether this proposal is actually a "proposed policy
under discussion" as there isn't any mention of it on the web site.
The webpage you mentioned lists AFPUB-2009-v4-001 as having "No
Consensus" and being in Last call until 19-12-09. The webpage at
http://www.afrinic.net/policy.htm mentions that AFPUB-2009-v4-003 has
"No Consensus" and it is in Last call until 19-12-09. Is all that
even in line with the AfriNIC Policy Development Process?
The executive summary is:
There is a Policy Development Process. Documents are published on
www.afrinic.net. There isn't any issue as the community is happy.
That certainly looks good in a press release. That's generally
written by marketing departments. If Marketing was in charge of
routing packets, the problem of Internet access in Africa would be
solved overnight.
