<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>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.<br>
<br>
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).<br>
<br>
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).<br>
<br>
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).<br>
<br>
Africa should take a stand now to face such a challenge and to turn that
immanent date into an opportunity it can prosper from.<br>
<br>
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.</span><span
