Dear colleagues,
For those of you who missed out on the original announcement and who are wondering why we haven't published an agenda yet. The upcoming RIPE Meeting does not have a formal seating of the IPv6 Working Group. Given the amount of content and the current state of affairs, the collective chairs decided to dedicate a full day to the topic.
So Tuesday's plenary session will be all about IPv6, covering a broad range of topics. We have talks about the state of the world, overviews of the available transitioning techniques and various presentations from people who already deployed IPv6 in their network. We are still busy with the final details of the agenda and the time schedule, but this is what we already have scheduled:
Dynamic IPv4 Address Release - Olaf Bonness
Transition Technologies Overview - Marco Hogewoning
IPv6 Mobility in Emergency Teams - Jan Žorž
RIPE 501 bis - Jan Žorž et al
IPv6 Routing Table Update - Gert Döring
IPv6 Deployment Real Case - Ragnar Anfinsen (Altibox Norway)
IPv6 Issues on AMS-IX Peering LAN - Arien Vijn
Deploying IPv6 Without Huge Costs – Case Study
IPv6 Geolocation - TBD
IPv6 Pending Badge Initiative - INEX
IPv6 CPE survey: Initial results - Mirjam Kuehne
As stated we are still busy with the final details and some speakers, for the latest updates please refer to the meeting plan at http://ripe62.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/plenary
For those who can't make it to Amsterdam, all the sessions will be broadcasted on the Internet and available for remote participation. Details for the webcast will be posted on http://ripe62.ripe.net, session will start at 09:00 CEST.
For those coming to the meeting, save travels and see you next week,
The IPv6 Working Group co-chairs.

Dear Colleagues,
The RIPE NCC is pleased to announce the launch of four new information videos on real-life IPv6 deployment experiences.
The following videos are now available in the RIPE NCC's E-Learning Centre at:
http://www.ripe.net/lir-services/training/e-learning/ipv6
- Jan Žorž talks about "Mobile IPv6"
- Tore Anderson gives an overview on "IPv6 and Content Providers"
- Nuno Viera talks about "IPv6 in Hosting Environments"
- Teun Vink is interviewed about "IPv6 and ISPs"
The RIPE NCC E-Learning Centre is free and available to everyone.

Hi There,
We just released a new version of the IPv6 CPE survey. After lots of feedback on the previous editions, we are now doing a "proper" survey. Based on the responses we receive in this survey we will be able to compile a new edition of our matrix and provide some more statistical background on what is happening in the market.
Remember we are totally depending on your feedback to continue this work. The more responses we receive, the easier it gets for us to provide regular updates on which CPE are available on the market and how good they are.
So if you have an IPv6 capable router or modem in your house, or you are busy testing them. Please take the time to fill out the survey and help other people to find the device that fits their need.
Please see https://labs.ripe.net/Members/marco/ipv6-cpe-survey-please-participate for further details and a link to the survey.
Thanks,
MarcoH
Hi,
I was wondering whether there is anybody on this list who might be willing
and/or knows somebody who can speak at the next RIPE meeting regarding
ongoing preparations for the IPv6 day in June:
http://isoc.org/wp/worldipv6day/
Specifically, are there any people who are for example preparing their
customer service department and other parts of the company as opposed to
just moving the main website to ipv6. Are there any problems you expect ?
Or, other things that deserve attention ?
Please respond to: ipv6-wg-chairs(a)ripe.net
Thanks,
David Kessens

Dear Colleagues,
As you may have already seen on other mailing lists, APNIC, the Regional Internet Registry for the Asian Pacific region, has reached the end of their pool of available IPv4 addresses. As of Friday April 15, they have activated their "final /8" policy, which was decided upon by the APNIC community [1].
This event in itself does not have any effect on the amount of IPv4 addresses which are still available within the RIPE NCC service region. But we would like to remind you that eventually the RIPE community will have to deal with the same situation.
We would like to point out that he RIPE community has decided that an LIR must already have IPv6 addresses before they become eligible for their final allocation under the final /8 policy. This requirement is in addition to having a demonstrated need for address space.
For more information about this, please refer to section 5.6 of the IPv4 Address Allocation and Assignment Policies for the RIPE NCC Service Region [2].
We would like to urge the community to start deploying IPv6 as soon as possible if they haven't done so already. This is the only way to support the long-term growth of the Internet and ensure the continuity of their operations. And if you have already deployed IPv6 in your network, please share your experiences for others to learn from.
Greetings,
The IPv6 working group chairs,
Marco, David & Shane
