Hi Kivuva,
I would like to know what the Afrinic Government working group has to say about this proposal. Have they endorsed it?
The last part is equally important :
13.2 In the event of a government performing 3 or more such shutdowns in a period of 10 years – all resources to the aforementioned entities shall be revoked and no allocations to said entities shall occur for a period of 5 years.

What happens if say CA is denied such resources? Any effect on Telcom services? Or monitoring of such services?3. How about KeNIC? Will this affect KeNIC because maybe someone can argue there's ia Government stake in KeNIC?4. National Security?5. Signet?Very interesting conversation.Thanks for sharing Kivuva.Ali HusseinPrincipalHussein & Associates"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit." ~ AristotleSent from my iPadAn interesting policy on anti-Internet shutdown which the authors
think is "Draconian" in nature has been floated at the AFRINIC Policy
Development Working Group.
The draft policy says
13.0 Internet shutdown order by governments
An internet shutdown is deemed to have occurred when it can be proved
that there was an attempt, failed or successful, to restrict access to
the internet to a segment of the population irrespective of the
provider or access medium that they utilize.
13.1 In the event of an internet shutdown performed at the order of a
government that is either total or partial:
a) For a period of 12 months following the end of the shutdown –
AFRINIC will allocate no resources to the government of the
countryThis also applies to all government owned entities and entities
that have direct provable relationships with said government.
b) In the event of a transfer policy existing, AFRINIC shall not
assist or participate in any transfers to any of the entities above.
c) All sub-allocations of space within said country involving the
referred to entities shall equally cease for a period of 12 months.
