<p>Dear PDWG,</p>
<p>I have two major concerns regarding the Internet in Africa.</p>
<p>1 - Lack of DNSSEC - for DNS security</p>
<p>2 - Lack of IPv6 - for growth</p>
<p>I run something called the Observatory -
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://observatory.dnsstudy.africa">https://observatory.dnsstudy.africa</a> - which has in the past
collected information such as how many domains there are, are they
DNSSEC Signed and are they IPv6 accessible.</p>
<p>So I want Domain content to be IPv6 Accessible...</p>
<p>ISP's need to have IPv6 resources, they need to make sure that
all content has IPv6 - so that as end users access that content,
they have IPv6 access all the way through. IPv6 doesn't use
RFC1918 addresses - all IPv6 addresses are unique.</p>
<p>We are running out of IPv4. Yes - some resources will still need
IPv4 addresses - so let's stretch what we have out. The IPv4 Soft
Landing proposal helps this stretching process - by forcing IPv6
onto LIR's/ ISP's.</p>
<p>So I support the Proposal. It may not be perfect but it will help
shape the African Internet Industry further into the right
direction.</p>
