I stonglly agree with what Mr.Wilson and and Mr.Janvier said,cuz raising the awareness is one of the greatest challenges we have to face first of all.and Of course there was an LIR + IPv6 training in Sudan in 2010 and we have  IPV6 qualified trainers but the idea of having an expert group of people assisting in the smooth transition by training,evaluation and assessment and moving from place  to another is a brilliant.
Looking forward to benefit from and contribute  in the AF6TF

That's great Hisham ! 
We can move to the next stage.
But how about the topic of training on V6.
It's true that AfriNIC sets a special training programme on V6. 
I am asking myself how this training can be directly linked to this Task Force project, may be when there will be the needs of training, AfriNIC will be contacted to organize some workshops? If it's so, AfriNIC should be aware of to satisfy  many requests for training in V6 and many requests for expertise in the nearest future.
Or we can also think about building a pool of experts available to move from place to place to assist the implementation of the  transition  mechanism ?
I just wanted to raise the issue of capacity building in V6 that we can meet on the way. 
Are we going to  leave the question come from down  to up according to the needs of ones and another ?
Warm regards,
/Janvier

Dear all, 
Based on the useful Feedback tips I have been receiving on what the FGs should start of with doing here is a quick summary of the FG (some have been added or combined) 

1) Policy and Government 
2) Core, Transit & Peering 
3) Mobile, CPE & Access 
4) Web & Application 

If these FGs seem as a good starting point that covers the needs of the region then we move on to the next step which will be calling put for volunteers to contribute to the TF 
Regards 
Hisham

Dear all, 
I am glad to announce that the African IPv6 Task Force AF6TF will should be up and running by mid Feb. 
I am sharing some initial thoughts to the mailing list and am waiting on your feedback and of curse your participation to the TF. 
The idea of establishing a regional task force that that focuses its efforts on the uptake of IPv6 deployment within the region has been discussed for sometime in the African region. 
To achieve this goal the African IPv6 Task Force (AF6TF) divided its work scope among several focus groups to provide a more specialized approach and measurable targets. 
Focus groups 

1. National and Governmental Focus Group 

The Mandate: 

This FG will assist governmental members and policy makers in defining and promoting a clear dated roadmap for the IPv6 implementation strategies on their large national networks and backbones. 

2. Transit and Peering Focus Group 

The Mandate: 

This FG will assist transit and peering providers in developing and implementing processes and best practice scenarios to assist with the proper and efficient deployment of IPv6 in their networks. 

3. DNS and Web Focus Group 

The Mandate: 

This FG will assist ccTLDs, host and content providers in promotion and diffusion of IPv6 capable services on their networks. 

4. Security and applications Focus Group 

The Mandate: 

This FG will facilitate collaboration between academic and research organizations in the development of IPv6 tools, applications and devices. The FG will attempt to actively contribute to the international standards and specification bodies tasked with IPv6 matters. 

5. Mobile Focus Group 

The Mandate: 

This FG will assist Mobile operators in defining and promoting a clear dated roadmap for the IPv6 implementation strategies on their networks in preparation for Mobile Internet and LTE services. 

All of these FGs will report back to a steering committee elected from the active members participating in the different FG. 

The Secretariat will be provided by AfriNIC and will work with the Steering Committee to support each of the FGs, the scope will include also material preparation, meeting organization, maintaining a mailing list for discussion, along side with hosting and publishing the Task Force website. 

I am waiting on your comments and input 

Regards 

Hisham Ibrahim 

IPv6 PM, AfriNIC
