This is to inform you that the IANA has allocated the following
one (1) IPv4 /8 block to AfriNIC:

41/8   AfriNIC

Would you (read: IANA) also be so kind and give them a nice chunk out
of:

There is already a /23 in 2001::/16 that has AfriNIC's name on it, you'll be hearing more about that tomorr... errr... later today. Allocations of larger IPv6 blocks are still handled on a case by case basis until there is a global IPv6 allocation policy developed in the manner described by the new ASO MOU. A new draft of such a policy will be discussed at ARIN's meeting in Orlando next week.

Btw, is there going to be an LACNIC-alike system for transfering
RIPE/ARIN resources to AfriNIC?
I wouldn't characterize it exactly that way, but resources that have been held in trust and/or managed by the other RIRs in anticipation of an African RIR will be transferred. The details of those arrangements are primarily administrative matters, and while ICANN is happy to assist if necessary, we have confidence that the RIRs will work this out in due time.

Doug
