The review phase for 2014-04 has ended.
Given the amount of support over the lifetime of this proposal, and the nature of the opposition, I have decided that we have reached rough consensus (Sander as co-chair has abstained, because he has officially taken an opionion).
The main counterargument brought up was that this would lower the incentive for LIRs to adopt IPv6 and would create the impression that IPv6 is no longer important to the RIPE community. To counter that, the chairs will ask the RIPE NCC to continue their good work in raising IPv6 awareness and to continue to mention it on IPv4 /22 requests.
So, I consider the counterarguments addressed, and see enough support to declare rough consensus and move the proposal forward.
The "last call" phase has now ended. Unlike most proposals, there was quite a bit of discussion in Last Call. After reviewing the messages sent, the chairs have decided that no new arguments have been brought up - and repetition of arguments that have been discussed and addressed before does not stop consensus, if strong support exists otherwise. It might be a bit more rough than for other proposals, but "rough consensus" is good enough. Thus, the chairs hereby declare consensus on 2014-04. If you disagree with this decision please contact the working group chairs (preferably on this public mailing list and otherwise by sending mail to apwg-chairs@ripe.net). Should that not resolve the problem then you can appeal to the WG chairs collective (as per section 4 of ripe-614). Marco will send the formal announcement from the NCC soon. regards, Gert Doering and Sander Steffann -- APWG chairs -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...? SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v.
