[rpd] Statistics on IPV4 allocation in Africa as of 2016

Thu Jun 16 12:10:46 UTC 2016

I agree with Timothy and i like the farmer truck analogy used. We need to
carry everyone along and allow the depletion to take a natural course. A
win-win scenario is when no one is left behind on purpose.

Great ideas from everyone!
