Patrick (and others), Not wearing any particulair hats, just responding as one of the net citizens who happened to be involved in reviewing this questionaire. The question was raised on how to categorize the organisations, you can come up with many diffferent views and hundreds of options and you have to make choices. Personally I think the hosting/registar business can be qualified as an ISP as you are in fact offering internet services. In response to the other point "Please indicate for every service if your organization has it deployed now" I think, in the end, the "peering" should have disappeared from that list as, IMHO, it ain't a service as suc, the same goes for "buying transit". I now think maybe there should have been a question on "connectivity" in general, with a couple of options such as buy/peer/both. In response to Mark, I think the same reason applies as with the organisation thing. You can come up with hundreds, maybe thousands of reasons which can be blocking. You have to keep it short and there is after all room for free form comments. Please keep in mind that this is aimed at thousands of organisations and people and should give some generic insight in what people are planning for and what the main reasoning is behind it. And yes, I personally, don't expect this survey to produce any results different from what is known already from other studies. Grtx, marco On 18 jun 2009, at 19:27, Patrik Fältström wrote:
There was also no alternative on "what kind of organisation are you" that is a hosting/dns/registrar service. Only ISP. If I am not selling IP packets, what to select?
There was also only "selling transit" and "peering" (or similar). I am buying transit.., which connect me with the issue Marc bring up.

I don't want to start a thread on the survey details, but I found one question missing an important choice. The question is:
What are likely to be the biggest hurdle(s) when deploying IPv6?
Our biggest hurdle (and I'm sure we are not the only ones) is "Upstream ISP not offering IPv6 transit". Currently, I have to write into the "other box". I really think that choice should be explicit to make the survey more precise on hurdles people feel.
my 2 cents cdn...

Dear Colleagues,
As announced at RIPE 58, TNO and GNKS Consult are working with the RIPE NCC to conduct a survey, sponsored by the European Commission, on the current and future use of IPv6 throughout the RIPE NCC service region.
The IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey is now online, and we encourage all members of the RIPE community to participate: http://is-nri.com/take/?i=150597&h=1GwWe3dXXMcPrRrOw5s2yg
The purpose of the survey is to better understand where the community is moving, and what can be done to ensure the Internet community is ready for the widespread adoption of IPv6. The survey was developed in consultation with members of the RIPE community, and is inspired by the 2008 survey conducted by ARIN and CAIDA in North America. It is sponsored by the European Commission, which has actively supported the adoption of IPv6, in the interests of innovation and the continuing competitiveness of European industry.
We encourage all organisations in the RIPE NCC service region to participate in this survey, which we hope will establish a comprehensive view of present IPv6 penetration and future plans for IPv6 deployment. By making the survey design similar to the ARIN/CAIDA survey, we hope that the results will contribute to a better global picture of current and future IPv6 deployment.
The survey is composed of 16 questions and can be completed in 10-15 minutes. For those without IPv6 allocations or assignments, or who have not yet deployed IPv6, the questions will be fewer in number.
The survey will close on 3 July 2009.
Results of the IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey will be presented and discussed at RIPE 59, which will be held 5-9 October in Lisbon, Portugal. Results will also be published on IPv6 Act Now: http://ipv6actnow.org
Please provide your name and contact information on the survey form if you wish to receive the draft survey analysis when available. Please also indicate whether you are willing to share additional data with the TNO and GNKS Consult IPv6 Deployment Monitoring team.
We appreciate your time and interest in completing this survey. If you have any questions concerning the survey, please send an email to <info@gnksconsult.com>.
Regards,
Paul Rendek Head of External Relations and Communications RIPE NCC
