The AFGWG and IPv6 councils in many African countries who would also benefit from a collaborative approach. The regional RENs are exploring ways in which NRENs and their communities play a role in this and support in-country. Ideas welcome.</div></div></blockquote></div></div><br clear="none"><br clear="none">Again if you are a regulator and want help setting up and running an effective IPv6 task force, get in touch.<br clear="none"><br clear="all"><div><br clear="none"></div>-- <br clear="none"><div class="yiv9216246737gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><br clear="none">Mukom Akong T.<br clear="none"><br clear="none"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-style:inherit;font-variant:inherit;line-height:inherit;color:rgb(51,51,51);margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;vertical-align:baseline;"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mukom">LinkedIn:Mukom</a> </span> | twitter: @perfexcellent <div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;vertical-align:baseline;line-height:17px;color:rgb(51,51,51);"><form target="_blank" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" method="POST" action="https://www.linkedin.com/profile/vanity-name-submit" onsubmit="return theMainWindow.showFormWarning(this)" name="UNIQUE_ID_SafeHtmlFilter_vanityUrlForm" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-style:inherit;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:baseline;font-variant:inherit;line-height:inherit;"><ul style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-style:inherit;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:baseline;list-style:none;font-variant:inherit;line-height:inherit;"></ul></form></div>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br clear="none">“When you work, you are the FLUTE through whose lungs the whispering of the hours turns to MUSIC" - Kahlil Gibran<div class="yiv9216246737yqt6594512917" id="yiv9216246737yqtfd87269"><br clear="none">-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br clear="none"></div></div></div></div><div class="yiv9216246737yqt6594512917" id="yiv9216246737yqtfd34865">
