The last time that this policy was being discussed we did not seem
to be able to reach consensus on how to define the 'Non-Profit Networks'.
The following definition from a parallel policy proposal in the ARIN
region has been proposed:
ARIN is different from AfriNIC as most of the members are from two countries.
------------------------------------------------------
A community network is any network organized and operated by a
volunteer group operating as or under the fiscal support of a
non-profit organization or university for the purpose of providing
free or low-cost connectivity to the residents of their local
service area. To be treated as a community network under ARIN
policy, the applicant must certify to ARIN that the community
network staff is 100% volunteers.
------------------------------------------------------
The university case would be covered under an existing policy. You
might still have the problem of how to define a non-profit
organization. As the ARIN community is more active that this one, it
is easier to assess what the applicant is certifying.
I suggest getting some AfriNIC members to support your proposal as it
may encourage the deployment of IPv6.
