Draft Registration Services Agreement (RSA) and Transfer Agreement Published for Comments

On 2 October 2017 a revised RSA was published for public comments. The comment period ended on 30 October 2017.

We have prepared a table summarising the comments and staff responses to the comments, as well as a revised version of the RSA.

We have also identified a risk that, if a requested transfer is denied for some reason, AFRINIC may be sued by either the source or recipient or both. We have prepared a Transfer Agreement which source and recipient will sign to protect AFRINIC from that risk.

Comments on these documents are welcome for one week, until 10 November 2017 here 

Here are the relevant documents:

• Previous call for comments
• Summary of comments and responses
• Revised draft RSA dated 31 October 2017, showing changes from previous version of RSA dated January 2016
• Document showing changes from the draft RSA dated 30 September 2017 to the revised draft dated 31 October 2017
• Draft Transfer Agreement dated 1 November 2017
