<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hi Guys,<br><br></div>I don't think we need to start from scratch with a new policy and even if you did, it would not be too different from the current one written by Andrew and Sunday. Hence we just need to refine the current one a little and ensure it has all the elements that would ensure a consensus from the community. The fact is that IPv4 depletion in our region is imminent and inevitably, and knowing this for a fact, we need to ensure our HEIs in the region are properly placed to have much of these resources for fulfill their core mandate for teaching, learning and research. As well as prepare them for the next evolution of the Internet with IPv6. <br>
<br></div>In Djibouti, whilst on the floor I suggested the following and I still believe it should added the policy:<br></div><div>1. The policy for been targeted at HEIs that currently don't have any allocations from AFRiNIC or at least some sort of moratorium is place on the HEIs that have allocations and would still want to apply this policy.<br>
</div>2. It should a one-time-pass for institutions that would want to use. And I would even want to add that if an HEI uses this policy to get resources then the second time around the requirement for additional resource should be more stringent to ensure maximum utilization of the first allocation.<br>
</div>3. For an HEI to use this policy, the application must be approved by the NREN or in the case when they is no NREN in the country, then is must be approved by the RREN.<br></div> <br>Sunday, I would happy to take up the policy from here onwards.<br>

<p dir="ltr"> Hi All,</p>
<p dir="ltr">With regards to the Academic IPv4 Policy (Policy Draft AFPUB-2013-GEN-001-DRAFT-03).</p>
<p dir="ltr">Due to the fact that both authors of the policy have now been elected to the board, and we are of the opinion that this represents a severe potential conflict of interest, we would like to ask the list if there were any individuals who would like to take over further actions on this policy (changing it, promoting it, defending it at meetings etc).</p>
<p dir="ltr">Both authors still strongly believe in the policy and the sentiments behind it, and still believe the policy is in the best interest of the African region as a whole, and hence, we have opted to make this appeal rather than withdrawing the policy or letting it lapse on the 26th of June.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Should there be anyone interested in taking over the policy from here on out, please advise either of the authors.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Many Thanks</p>
<p dir="ltr">Sunday Folayan / Andrew Alston</p>
