will also get depleted. It is possible that there will be continued demand
for IPv4 addresses long after the AfriNIC pool is depleted. New ISPs (and
those growing their existing networks) that do not want (for various
reasons) to consider IPv6 will be looking for IPv4 addresses. This proposal
attempts to propose a legitimate way for such ISPs to acquire IPv4 addresses
from existing AfriNIC members (legacy or not) who wish to give away some
addresses (with some consideration or otherwise).
