Dear Members,

After considering the situation of the IPv4 central pool exhaustion
and the analysis paper published by AfriNIC staff in April 2007 [1],
The AfriNIC Board approved in its last meeting an action plan  for
the staff to intensify its awareness campaign on the issue and advise
network operators in the region to make their network infrastructure
IPv6 ready as soon as possible.

Resolution [#200707.01]:

    "Noting the imminent exhaustion of the IPv4 address central  pool,
    the AfriNIC Board resolves that efforts to draw the public's
    attention to the problem and potential solutions such  as IPv6 be
    intensified, and instructs the staff to take  appropriate action
    in this regard"

In line with this resolution, we have released the attached message to
draw your attention to the situation. This direct communication will be
followed by different other measures/activities to continue to promote
the adoption of IPv6 in the Africa region. Among other activities,
AfriNIC will have a press conference to reach out to a larger audience
including the media and intensify its IPv6 training activity across the
continent.

We will also soon launch a specific area on our web site dedicated to
IPv6, from where policy, training materials, papers and other useful
information related to IPv6 will be available.

Do not hesitate to contact our team, should you have any further questions
or need more clarification.

Sincerely,
