Hi Andrew, all,

I already indicated in the meeting that I'm going to start a special action
to help people to deploy 6to4 relays and Teredo Servers+Relays. I guess this
will be clear for those that didn't attended once the minutes are published.

I will probably start this next week thru the IPv6 in Africa mail exploder.

If anyone in this list is interested in that, please make sure to subscribe.
You need to send an email to afripv6-discuss-request at afrinic.net, with
subscribe in the subject, or via this link
https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo.cgi/afripv6-discuss.

More instructions and archive via http://www.afrinic.net/mailinglist.htm.

I think it will be good if the staff can send a reminder to all the members
(which not necessarily are in the policy mail exploder) and especially those
that have already got an IPv6 allocation (even if they are already using
it).

Moreover, I've been working in a document regarding the IPv4 Exhaustion and
the alternatives. The document is already 21 pages, but I'm only going to
add a few graphics with timelines for the possible results of the different
alternatives. I'm not going to publish this document now, but if someone is
interested in reading the draft and hopefully provide some inputs, I will
more than happy to send it.

Regards,
Jordi
