Dear Benjamin,

Thank you very much for offering to take up the Academic IPV4 policy
from here. We are delighted that you will do this.

Kindly incorporate all the comments and compromises you and several
others proposed at the face to face meeting in Djibouti, and re-submit
the updated proposal in your own name.

Good luck with the task of promoting the draft policy henceforth.

Thanks and Regards,

Andrew Alston/Sunday Folayan
