assigned and unused is not useful to anyone except afrinic, who should 
be reclaiming the resources, if they’re not used, eh?  in fact, maybe 
if afrinic threatened to do this, then these v6-dormant organisations 
might wake up?

well, it looks like they have one majorly bad assumption.  if this is, 
indeed, the LIR for the different universities, then, (assuming there is 
more than one university) i would imagine they need a lot more than a 
/32 of address space.

i guess it depends on what you describe as an end-site.  i’ve never 
run a university network, but in my mind, each university should 
probably have their own /32, from which it allocates to each faculty 
(perhaps) their own /48.  that seems, to me, to be a lot more realistic.

but that’s my 5c.
perhaps if you speak directly to the afrinic hostmaster, they can give 
you additional guidance.
