Incentive Text Changed (Alain) In order to ensure a smooth transition to IPv6, AfriNIC's pool should be managed to provide members with routable blocks after the IPv4 pool is depleted, in order to maintain and deploy IPv4 networks while deploying IPv6 networks during a gradual transition to IPv6. This document proposes a strategy for allocation and maintenance of AfriNIC's final /8 block of IPv4 from IANA. Change Min & Max allocation to cater for small requests by members transitioning who only need small blocks for interoperability 6.1 The minimum allocation or assignment size for IPv4 will be a /27 block (32 addresses). The maximum alocation or assignment size will be a /22 or 1024 addresses. 7.4) Change the 10% section to reflect on every assignment/allocation of these resources may be used outside of the AfriNIC region, and any use outside the AfriNIC region shall be solely in support of connectivity back to the AfriNIC region. Removed The Limit on Number of address blocks to be recieved 7.2) An LIR or End User may receive a maximum of four (4) address blocks during the Exhaustion Phase, according to the allocation size in effect at the time of the application. The four address blocks shall be issued one at a time, in response to separate applications. ================================================================================================== Change the Incentives & Background to reflect all address space - currently only /8 was covered This document proposes a strategy for allocation and Assignment and maintenance of AfriNIC's IPv4 post exhaustion. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This policy (IPv4 Soft Landing), applies to the management of address space that will be available to AfriNIC after the current IPv4 pool is depleted. The purpose of this document is to ensure that address space used in a manner that is acceptable to the AfriNIC community especially during this time of scarcity. ================================================================================================================== Change the names of the two sub-phases within the Exhaustion Phase (sections 6.1a and 6.1b) to "Exhaustion Phase 1" and "Exhaustion Phase 2". ================================================================================================================== Clarify that the maximum allocation size of /22 (section 6.1b) applies independently to each allocation 6.1b).Exhaustion Phase 2 During this phase a minimum allocation/assignment size will be /27. And a maximum of /22 per allocation/assignment.
