I watched the discussions again.  I would like to 
thank Afrinic Ltd for the making that 
possible.  It is nice to see that you disclosed 
for whom you work for so that it is easy to find 
out whether there is a conflict of interest.

It seemed like there were two sides in the 
discussions.  I went through the discussions 
which occurred at previous meetings; the same 
issues were discussed over several meetings and there wasn't any solution.

Would making more IPv4 addresses available have a 
negative impact on IPv6 usage?
