[afrinic-resource-policy-discuss] Fwd: afrinic ipv6 PI policy

[Vincent Ngundi]

I agree with AlanL, discussions about this policy seem to die as soon  
as they start and before we can reach some form of conclusion. I  
really think we need to think seriously about this policy as whether  
we like it or not, IPv6 is a technology we have to adopt sooner or  
later; we better start sorting ourselves out early. It's imperative  
that we formulate a policy(ies) that addresses the needs of the  
different user groups in the community; thus this policy.

The latest draft can be found at http://www.afrinic.net/docs/policies/ 
afpol-v6200701.htm

PS: Abuja is only a month or so away!
