And I would not want to break this by making IPv6 optional for any
new applications.<br>

i think what we need to try to figure out and possibly do is to
have a Guide ready to give to the new comers/applicants to guide
them from the start on how to do at least a DUAL STACK.... to
let them start using IPv6 automatically and use IPV4 at the same
to allow them continue access those resources elsewhere which
are still on IPv4.....<br>
im trying to think of a scenario of showing new users
(applicants) that it's IPv6 era now.... but we are forced to
somehow embed IPv4 in order to continue access services still on
V4.....<br>

Deployment is out of scope of the RPD. However, AFRINIC do provide
IPv6 workshops, where this can be best addressed.<br>
<br>
I don't think we should IPv6 allocations optional for anyone. In
fact, I'd support policy that issues IPv6 allocations to all AFRINIC
members as part of their welcome pack. I'd even go as far as asking
AFRINIC to allocate IPv6 to existing members that do not currently
have an IPv6 allocation in retrospect.<br>
<br>
But circling back, the main talking point here is whether it makes
sense to carve off specific IPv4 space for "new entrants". As I said
before, I'm 50/50 on this, mostly because it's not immediately
obvious to me how a "new entrant" is defined, and how one polices
against abuse of the same.<br>
