[AfriNIC-rpd] Pushing IPv6

Hi
I think that the right answer will be education.
What I propose is:
- - to build more tools for self and distant training (like 6deploy
virtual labs),
- - to discuss more closely with ISP asking for new IPv4 addresses
allocation and see how they can be helped for IPv6 adoption.
Even if there is no policy about allocating IPv6 addresses automatically
to ISP who ask for IPv4, we can look at enforcing them to explain why
they are not looking at IPv6 and use that information to build better
strategies for pushing IPv6.

Thanks
