The AFRINIC Policy Development Process supports AFRINIC's role at managing the Internet Number Resources for its service region by enabling the bottom-up, transparent and open approach to policy development. The policies that reach consensus and are ratified by the AFRINIC Board provide the guidelines for the approval of resource requests.
