>> This is a “Strategic Reserve” for future use on which community will decide as we go. As such i would like to hear from people in the region on the Strategic Reserve; 3.125% of the specific last /8 (102/8)<br>

> I’m not sure if you intended this to be a vaguely worded implication that I am not in the region or not. While it is true that I do not reside in the region, as I have stated previously, I work for a company that has substantial operations in the region and yet has not yet consumed any AfriNIC resources while supporting virtually every single African internet user with improved internet experiences. Like it or not, while I used to be an interested bystander, for the last 19 months, I have been a participating stakeholder and not merely an interested bystander.<br>

<p dir="ltr">This proposal was submitted in February and went through long series discussions and to the face to face so how can Mr. Delong say, "very little support"? Shall we replay the archives or open the game again? </p>
<p dir="ltr">I refer to the cochairs.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I have been part of the discussions in the past and active at face to face, so how can you affirm that. </p>
<p dir="ltr">If I am forced to say it again, I support, the reservation for the critical infrastructure, for new comers, the strategic reserve, the ipv6 requirement and so the proposal.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Regards </p>
<p dir="ltr">Arnaud </p>
<p dir="ltr">> Any technology which would need this “strategic reserve” is a technology which does not exist yet. From my perspective, the only thing such a provision can do is encourage such technologies to be developed with dependencies on IPv4. This is absolutely wrong-headed. We should be encouraging new technologies to be developed WITHOUT dependencies on IPv4 and with full IPv6 support from day 1.<br>

> If you reward bad judgment (which is all that you can hope for from this provision), then you get an increase in bad judgment. One need look no further than the US financial crisis of 2008 for proof of this fact.<br>

>> Show a detailed plan to provide IPv6 connectivity to organizations in the AFRINIC region.<br>
>> Show a reasonable plan for making /48 IPv6 assignments to end sites in the AFRINIC region within twelve months. The LIR should also plan to announce the allocation as a single aggregated block in the inter-domain routing system within twelve months.<br>

>> 6.8.2 Assignment Criteria<br>

>> Assignment target - End-sites which provide Public Internet services for a single administrative organisations' network, regardless of their size.<br>
>> Assignment criteria:<br>
>> The end-site must not be an IPv6 LIR<br>
>> The end-site must become an AFRINIC End User Member and pay the normal AFRINIC fee for its' membership category<br>
>> The end site must either be a holder of IPv4 PI address space or qualify for an IPv4 PI assignment from AFRINIC under the IPv4 policy currently in effect.<br>
>> The end-site must justify the need for the IPv6 PI address space.<br>
>> The 'end-site' must show a plan to use and announce the IPv6 provider independent address space within twelve (12) months. After that period, if not announced, the assigned IPv6 PI address space should be reclaimed and returned to the free pool by AFRINIC.<br>
>> --------<br>
>> If you do not have v6 or loose your v6 (review of allocations, etc…) you will not qualify for v4 in the last /8 unless justified.<br>
