Oops ! Sorry David, I react a bit late but please let me do it anyway even if my comments may not be taken into account. These comments which will be placed below in their context are related to what I am supposed to have said at RIPE Meeting 41 :-) On 28 Mar, David Kessens wrote: | | Please see below for the first draft version of the minutes of | the IPv6 wg session during RIPE41. | | Please take a look at it and report typos, errors and omissions. | | The minutes (with possible minor corrections) will be declared final | if I receive no comments and/or only minor typographical errors by | Friday April 12th, 2002. | | Thanks, | | David K. | --- | | ----------------------------- | | RIPE 41 | Amsterdam | Ipv6 Working Group | Wednesday 16th January 2002 16:00 - 17:30 | Chair - David Kessens | 117 attendees present | | [...] | | D Developments/initiatives regarding IPv6 in the RIPE region and beyond | (input from the audience requested) | | Comment: DNS deployment in IPv6 and support of v6 in DNS, we have a | secondary server in Spain, if other European countries | (outside Spain) are interested in supporting DNS/IPv6 maybe | we could arrange some collaboration. | ==> I said (meant) : "We (French NIC) have a secondary DNS IPv6-capable server which already hosts .fr zone and other TLD zones such as .re, .es, .br and .dz. We are looking forward to do some collaboration in DNSv6 field with other European TLDs. | A: Can I volunteer you to discuss this at the next meeting? | A: Yep! | | [...] | | Z AOB | | Reverse Delegation in v6 | | I would like to talk about the slow down of services offered.

I am therefore concerned | of willingness for v6, things are going well but people are not | encouraged! ==> This paragraph which attempted to translate what I said should be read this way : I would like to talk about the slow down of DNSv6 service deployment. There is a plan of migration from ip6.int to ip6.arpa for the IPv6 revese tree. RIRs have already asked for reverse delegation of their blocs and that has already been done. But no name server among the authoritative ones for ip6.arpa talks IPv6 ! In November we sent a mail to IANA hostmaster to tell them, we can also be a secondary for ip6.arpa. So far we have had no response! I am therefore concerned of willingness for deploying IPv6. Things are going well from a standardization point of view but from a practicle point of view people are not encouraged! | [...] | | Q: is there anything we can do as a community, i.e. make it clear to | the ripe community that we want this? | A: yes | A: we can then approach Icann about this. You should be asking the | RIPE NCC when we can use v6 in the name server. | | Conclusion | | Hopefully the agenda will be fuller next time, if you have any | suggestions please let David know so that we can have more agenda | points. | | It could be interesting to see a road map plan, I see we have Cisco | and Juniper here so can you help me do this for next time? | A: Yep! | Regards, Mohsen. -- Mohsen Souissi *********************************************************************** * AFNIC - http://www.nic.fr * ***************************************+******************************* * Tel. : +33 1 39 30 83 40 | Fax : +33 1 39 30 83 01 * *--------------------------------+------------------------------------* * Immeuble International - 2, rue Stephenson - Montigny le Bretonneux * * 78181 Saint Quentin en Yvelines Cedex, France * ***********************************************************************
