Data on IPv4 and v6 assignments per country is already published; see the link in my original post below. Similar information has also been presented in various forms during regional meetings by RIPE NCC. My question is where/how can we get *the rate* of v4 consumption on a country basis ? This is necessary to raise awareness at the local level.

Hi Mirjam,
One suggestion, which should increase awareness on the good Ripeness initiative and its importance, is to measure on a country basis the IPv4 rate of consumption, or v4's 'Witherness' , and this can use historical data that RIPE has already. For example, the number v4 addresses being reserved per year on a country basis can be presented over the past 5 year period, and LIRs can use this data to know when v6 readiness has to happen.
IIRC, there is no "reservation per country" in IPv4 (or v6). It's one pool, not one pool of adddresses per country.
