But honestly, I don't see the point. Surely we can find something better to do with our time than see another chart showing IPv6 traffic rise 20% (*)?
As Gert noted, IPv6 discussion should naturally move to wider forums. I actually quite like his idea of having an IPv4 working group - or perhaps we should call it the Post-Exhaustion Working Group.
From the RIR perspective I agree on both points. It is however worth noticing that the RIPE-meetings traditionally have served a bigger role, comparable to that of the combined ARIN+NANOG meetings. Maybe this should be part of a wider discussion of the function of RIPE meetings, and/or whether there are other alternatives for the European operators community to share their experiences.
