Why would Africa's be different? Is there a rational for that?
AfriNIC-to-be's constituency has requested it to be that way, and it was approved in one of the previous RIPE meetings.
Mainly it's to be in-line with the african countries that are currently served by ARIN, which have a /22 as minimum allocation size.
