Sounds like an idea overdue. What's the way forward on this?

Dear All,
I hope this email finds you well and with best of health.
I am trying to raise general acceptance and consensus from the African countries and organizations active in the field Internet and access, for the launch of an African regional IPv6 Task Force.
Africa is the only region in the world without a regional task force concerned meanly with IPv6 and its regional development, which has lead to some allegations from foreign organizations that claim that the African community needs chaperoning when it comes to ICT development (especially in regards to the Internet and IPv6).
Starting such a regional organization with the help of the already established Internet concerned African organizations and the already well educated and trained African technical community, that has been built over the years, will help bring together LIRs, regional efforts and even governments to focus on one of the most anticipated Internet issues these days (IPv6).
With less than 7% of the IPv4 blocks left in the IANA pool, predications of total depletion are assumed to be within mid next year (these predictions do not take into consideration the impact of distributing the final 5*/8 blocks among the RIRs).
Africa should take a stand now to face such a challenge and to turn that immanent date into an opportunity it can prosper from.
I am trying to raise support from the community on this matter so will be waiting on any valuable insight, suggestions or contacts you might refer me to help see this regional initiative up and running as soon as humanly possible.

Hi Hisham,
I highly welcome this initiative. I have copied the chairs of the current
IPv6 Forum chapters in Africa: Morocco, Tunisia, Senegal, Kenya and Ghana.
I will be in Egypt first week of July at the Smart village and we could
meeti and take this idea further.
Cheers
Latif

Dear colleagues,
I highly appreciate this idea as well. We in Uganda are also in the process
of formulating a task force to spear head the adoption of IPv6. I strongly
welcom the idea of having this championed at the Regional level.
