[Apnic-announce] Withdrawal of APNIC policy for African economies

[APNIC Secretariat <secretariat@apnic.net>]

Dear colleagues

On 8 April 2005, AfriNIC received from ICANN formal recognition of its 
emergence as the fifth RIR.

Therefore, the APNIC EC has formally withdrawn the temporary APNIC 
policy for allocations to African economies within the APNIC region:

    "IPv4 allocations for African economies within the APNIC region"
    http://ftp.apnic.net/apnic/archive/apnic-115-v001.txt

Economies in the AfriNIC region now seek address space from AfriNIC 
under the AfriNIC allocation policy:

    "IPv4 address allocation policies"
