AfriNIC is the most expensive RIR for IPv4 addresses.

I recall listening to Nishal explaining the IPv6 address format to 
AfriNIC engineers and member services employees. :-)

Instead of many documents that talk about IPv6 implementation I 
suggest publishing the details of the implementation of IPv6 at AfriNIC.

There is a Research & New Technology department at AfriNIC.  Has it 
done any study to find out what problems are preventing the members 
from deploying IPv6?
