<div dir="ltr">EXT EN FRANCAIS PLUS BAS<br><div><br>Dear All,<br><br></div><div>During
discussions at AIS 14 in Djibouti, it came out that many African
academic and research institutions find the application process at AfriNIC too complex. This is, in fact, just a perception.<br><br></div><div>Acknowledging
the fact that many of us feel more comfortable with a one-on-one
support rather than posting on mailing list, WACREN has set up a support
Team on the issue to boost IP resources allocation requests from
academic and research institutions.<br><br></div><div>The objective is
to secure IPv4 resources for our institutions; as you know, AfriNIC is
the only RIR that still has IPv4 address blocks and they will disappear
very fast. So, now is the time to request IPv4 blocks and at the same
time IPv6 resources, and start implementing IPv6.<br><br></div><div>We
urge you to take this very seriously, and take advantage of the 50%
discount for educational and research institutions, as per the agreement
signed between the Association of African Universities (AAU) and
AfriNIC in 2009.<br><br></div><div>So, please start the process of requesting IP resources for your institutions right now and contact the Support Team whenever you face challenges. As starting point, we recommend you the following AfriNIC web page: <a href="http://www.afrinic.net/en/services/rs" target="_blank">http://www.afrinic.net/en/services/rs</a>.<br>
<br>Feel free to also have your application being reviewed by the Team before submission to AfriNIC.<br><br>The Team is composed of:<br><br>- Alain Aina;<br>- Seun Ojedeji;<br>- Hubert Asior;<br></div><div>- Emmanuel Togo;<br>
</div><div>- Omo Oaiya.<br><br></div><div>It can be reached at <a href="mailto:iprm@wacren.net" target="_blank">iprm@wacren.net</a>.</div><div><br></div><div>Feel free to share this information with your various communities.<br>

<span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial" lang="FR">Lors
des discussions a</span></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial" lang="FR">
<span>l'AIS</span> <span>14</span> <span>à
Djibouti</span>, <span>il est apparu que</span> <span>de
nombreuses institutions</span> <span>universitaires et de recherche
africains</span> <span>trouvent le processus</span> <span>de
demande de ressources IP a</span> <span>AfriNIC</span> <span>trop</span> <span>complexe</span>. <span>Il
s'agit</span>, en realite, <span>seulement d’une</span> <span>perception</span>. <br>
<br>
<span>Reconnaissant</span> <span>le fait que</span> <span>beaucoup d'entre nous</span> <span>se sentent plus</span> <span>à l'aise avec</span> <span>une assistance personnalisee plutot
qu’a travers des listes</span> <span>de diffusion</span>, <span>WACREN</span> <span>a mis en place</span> <span>une</span>
<span>equipe</span> <span>d’assistance sur la question</span>
afin <span>de stimuler</span> <span>les demandes</span> <span>d'allocation</span> <span>des ressources</span> IP provenant
<span>des institutions</span> d’education et <span>de
recherche</span>. <br>
<br>
<span>L'objectif est</span> <span>d'obtenir des ressources</span>
<span>IPv4</span> <span>pour</span> <span>nos</span>
<span>institutions</span>; <span>comme vous le savez</span>,
<span>AfriNIC</span> <span>est le seul</span> <span>RIR</span> <span>qui a encore</span> <span>adresses</span>
IPV4 disponibles <span>et</span> <span>ils vont disparaître</span>
<span>tres rapidement</span>. <span>Donc, c'est vraiment le
moment</span> <span>de demander</span> <span>des blocs</span>
<span>IPv4 et</span> <span>en même</span> <span>temps</span>
<span>des ressources</span> <span>IPv6</span>, <span>et</span> <span>commencer à implementer </span><span> </span><span>IPv6</span>. <br>
<br>
<span>Nous</span> <span>vous prions de prendre</span> <span>ceci tres au sérieux</span>, <span>et</span> <span>profiter de</span> <span>la reduction de 50</span>% <span>pour</span> <span>les etablissements d'enseignement</span> <span>et de recherche</span>, <span>conformement a l'accord</span>
<span>signe entre</span> <span>l'Association des Universites</span>
<span>Africaines (AUA</span>) <span>et</span> <span>AfriNIC</span> <span>en 2009</span></span>.<br><br>
