I hope that all is going well.<br>
<br>
I’m working on the IGF Best Practice Forum on IPv6.<br>
<br>
This year’s focus are the economic and commercial incentives for companies and large organisations to deploy IPv6 on their networks.<br>
We’re collecting case studies and intend to formulate general observations of what drives the decision to move to IPv6.<br>
<br>
In addition, we want to discuss the challenges and hurdles in the regions that lack successful IPv6 deployment cases.<br>
We’re looking for input on this section from the AFRINIC region.<br>
<br>
Would you be able to recommend people for the African region who could help us with this? (people at Afrinic or other stakeholders, yourself included)<br>
<br>
The BPF IPv6 works in an open and collaborative way. The IPv6 best practice document will be discussed at the IGF meeting in December and published as part of the official outcome of the 2016 IGF.<br>
You can find more details at <a href="http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/bpf-ipv6" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.intgovforum.org/mul<wbr>tilingual/content/bpf-ipv6</a> .<br>
<br>
FYI, we had discussions in regional IGF for the Asia Pacific region with the summary compiled as attached. P. 6 View from Participants share some of the challenges in the APAC region.<br>
<br>
Thank you for your help!<br>
<br>
Don’t hesitate to let me know if you need further information.<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
