[rpd] LACNIC reaches final /10 of IPv4 space

[Kris Seeburn]

There are two ends to it.

We either look at a policy to protect our ipv4 space which would actually defeat the full push of ipv6
Or we find ways to deplete our ipv4 space faster that we can move to ipv6 faster

We all know that most hosting / ecom sites are still based on ipv4 infrastructure though. As much as we need to protect the ipv4 space we still need to push the ipv6 space. Afrinic nevertheless still has a good deal of ipv4 space. The question is how do we move both agenda forward?

I think obviously we need to look at our policy and what can make things work for us. A sharing or sales of ipv4 space with other RIRs as need may also look as a better way of still protecting the precious space whilst still making money out of it. I am not sure. I think this is still a dilemma we all need to figure out. 

NB: This is not a board perspective but my personal take at it.

Perhaps this could be an opportunity to "by policy" improve ISP establishment in our region? Maybe yes. Should we also "by policy" ensure addresses within this region are used more within the region.... how do we encourage this as the region seem to be comfortable with *translation*. Can policy make this happen?
