Talking about IPv6 i see the text in ipv6 allocation policy reads on 5.1.1 d

d) show a reasonable plan for making /48 IPv6 assignments to end sites
in the AFRINIC region within twelve months. The LIR should also plan
to announce the allocation as a single aggregated block in the
inter-domain routing system within twelve months.

my questions

i. your proposal 3.4 is in conflict with 5.1.1d of the current ipv6
policy which says to announce the allocation and not to extend ipv6 to
the edge of network. can you syncronize the two?

ii. I know ISPs that did not announce their ipv6 allocation after
twelbe months. what is Afrinic going to doing about that?
