[AfrIPv6-Discuss] corporate apathy

Like Saul, I frequently experience the same sort of apathy and currently
supporting NRENs to be less apathetic and help sensitise local regulators
to be more proactive in these matters.

Is this something we can discuss so we have a common approach?  I'd also
appreciate easy to read/reuse information for these evangelists to make the
arguments more succinctly so grateful for any pointers
