[kictanet] KENIC IPv6 Workshop - Letter of Information

[Vincent Ngundi]

The depletion of IPv4 addresses possibly in the next 3 years will  
mean that more hosts cannot be connected to the Internet and this  
will hinder the growth of the Internet, now seen as the economic  
driving force of the 21st century. A solution to this is the  
deployment of IPv6, the Next Generation Internet (NGI), which is the  
new IP protocol and which provides for a much larger number of IP  
addresses besides enhancing Internet security and easing network  
management.

In line with KENIC’s mandate of promoting ICT’s and building local  
ICT capacity, KENIC, in partnership with the Africa Network  
Information Centre (AfriNIC), the Communications Commission of Kenya  
(CCK), the Kenya ICT Board (KICTB) and the Telecommunication Service  
Providers Association of Kenya (TESPOK), has organised an IPv6 Hands- 
on workshop to be held between the 17th and 20th of June 2008 at the  
Sarova Panafric Hotel in Nairobi.

The purpose of the workshop is to train at least 200 local ICT  
professionals on among other things;
·      The allocation, assignment and management of Internet Protocol  
(IP) Number resources
·      IPv4 to IPv6 co-existence and transition mechanisms and
·      The deployment and management of the Next Generation Internet,  
that is IPv6 networks.

To register for the workshop, kindly fill the online workshop  
registration form available on our website, www.kenic.or.ke, and  
submit the Kshs. 10,000.00 workshop fees (per participant) to our  
offices either by cash or company cheque (in favour of KENIC) on or  
before the 12th of June 2008. Requests for invoices should be sent to  
training at kenic.or.ke. You can find out more about the workshop by  
visiting the IPv6 workshop page on our website, www.kenic.or.ke.

We hope that your organisation will utilise this opportunity and  
develop capacity in both IPv6 deployment and the management of IP  
resources.


Kind Regards,
