Hello AFNOG community,
I hope everybody is doing well and is preparing its attendance to the 
next AIS in Uganda be it physically or even remotely ! ;-)

I need advice/inputs from the organizers of technical event in the 
community on how they can manage IP resources (especially v4) during 
upcoming trainings (2020 and later). Generally IP resources provided 
during these events are assigned by AFRINIC according to section 9.0 of 
the Consolidation Policy Manual (CPM). They are called in the policy: 
"temporary resources".

If you follow RPD list, you may have read this proposal on 
"Clarification on temporary resource usage" [1] . The main purpose is to 
recommend more IPv6 usage and deploy IPv4 at the 'edge' of the network.

I'd like to publish an update to this proposal but it may helpful to 
have more opinions. From AFNOG perspective I'm particularly interested 
on what you think of the section 2.0 b of staff comments [2] where they 
say "could be adversely affected if restricted to use the /22 maximum". 
Can you manage to deal with that and use more v6 ? (please say 'yes' :) )

If you want to provide an input, please do so on the RPD [3] list where 
discussion occurs.

Thank you in advance. :)
