Dear Colleagues,

Please note that AfriNC has implemented the following policy:

 "IPv6 Provider Independent (PI) Assignment for End-Sites"
  http://www.afrinic.net/docs/policies/afpol-v6200701.htm

We have consequently as of today started making /48 PI assignments
from the following block:

  2001:43f8::/29

You may need to adjust any filters in place accordingly.

For more information, please see:

Regards,

Ernest
AfriNIC
