<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Dear All,<br></div>I would like to express again my concern about this policy which is a strategy to hold our precious v4 adresses and deprive Afrinic from its unique source of revenues. Then how will AFRINIC continue serving this continent by providing training and support for internet growth?<br>
</div>I call all board members and the whole community to take their responsability to avoid any action which will jeopardize afrinics' future.<br></div>Best Regards, <br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<div style="font-size:14px;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;word-wrap:break-word"><div>Hi Adiel,</div><div><br></div><div>Just a correction on the South African statistics, University of the Free State has an ASN. University of Cape Town also has an ASN, Rhodes.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I also need to stress that while the UbuntuNet Alliance is registered as "Netherlands", it is very clearly an African organisation with its sole focus the connectivity of academic networks in Africa. This is merely a company registration that caused it to state Netherlands (which, while I don't speak for the Alliance, if I am correct now also has a registration in Malawi)</div>
<div><br></div><div>I do have to say that in these statistics, I find certain things very telling and I think it clearly highlights just how much the policy under discussion is needed across the continent.</div><div><br></div>
<div>Currently South African institutions with their legacy space are utilising more than 10 times the space than their nigerian counterparts. The student base at HEI's in the respective countries seems to be pretty similar from published statistics, this policy will address that imbalance by providing access to space those those institutions in Nigeria. It is also very telling that there are single institutions in South Africa that have more IP address space than the entire academic sector in Ghana, Egypt and Congo DR combined!!! This is the <span style="font-weight:bold">VERY</span> reason this policy needs to pass, because it will make it so much easier for these institutions to get space and address the imbalance.</div>
