<p>I should also mention that the community provided useful insight
to authors of both proposals at yesterday's public policy meeting.
<br>
</p>
<p>The authors of both proposals have mutually agreed to work
together and over the coming days we should have output that we
can proceed with. I think the community should commend them for
being mature and moving to work together.</p>
<p>Please join the RPD mailing list to follow and contribute to
policy discussions better.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"
lang="EN-GB">As the morning dawns and the Afrinic
community is going to vote on the policies, I hope sanity
will prevail and everyone stays as far away from the
original Soft Landing Policy as possible. Simply put,
this policy does not support internet development, but
defines a long, painful and expensive way of seeing off
IPv4.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"
lang="EN-GB">For starters, all other regions have depleted
their IPV4 space, so what is so special about Africa that
their IPv4 will exist for as long as possible while they
are not really adding any value? If a member needs IPv4
addresses, they are limited to a mere /22. We are seeing
huge developments in LTE, GPON and WIFI all across Africa.
It will only mean that each time one needs some IP space
it will be more and more expensive.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"
lang="EN-GB">To make matters worse, this policy does not
encourage IPv6 uptake. Each uptake of IPv4 should
encourage some documented use of IPv6 as well. Members
should show that they have at least a parallel IPv6
deployment plan.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

either.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Allocation/Assignments to new LIRs or End-Users: Imagine
I have an organization that has just deployed a huge
network, serving thousands of customers, why would I not
get addresses – because we are waiting for a new company
to be formed and to figure out what they want to use IP
addresses for. No. If I have a valid reason for the space,
I should just get it, and not wait for someone who might
be innovative one day.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Reserve for unforeseen situations: What unseen situations?
We have learnt a lot from other regions that have run out
of space. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Keeping V4
will only kill innovation. I have great trust and believe
in future generations. They will come up with some
innovative ways of dealing with this. They will not even
need IPv4! So keeping some IPv4 blocks for them will only
keep blinkers on them. Set them free and let them
innovate.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">So, for
those who have registered to vote, well done! Go and burn
those IPv4 and set the future generations free. Don’t keep
them in IPv4 captivity. There is much more in the world of
IPv6. Simply eject the soft landing policy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
