But is there much point in protecting and trying to prolong ipv4 in the
AfriNIC region if the rest of the NICs are running out? At some stage
companies / organisations in those regions will only be able to get
ipv6 addresses. Are you sure your users will not want to communicate
with them or they with the users / companies on your networks?

I think Alan's email should rather serve as a heads up to implement
ipv6 in your network and start to think about what missing IPv6 policy
there is.

Regards

John
