Which was Randy's point, so if your technology agnostic why do you ask if the requesting LIR has thought of using NATs!!!!

Hello Joao,
Shouldn't RIPE NCC modify it's questions to say have you considered IPv6 instead of asking if they have thought of using NAT. If RIPE would like to further IPv6 shouldn't it asking it's customers (IPv4) about using IPv6!!!!! :-)
LIRs ask us to be technology agnostic when dealing with requests :-)

Hi randy,
the policy advice set by the LIRs has been, to the best of my knowledge, to ask requesters whether they have considered using private addressing for their network, not to force anyone to use it. Just ask, nothing else.
Where have you seen that presentation?

i just watched a ripe presentation which claimed to be technology neutral, yet advised isps to use nats without telling how they break applications, blah blah blah. this is not neutral, and is, imiho, really bad advice to give to innocent people. is this ripe or lir policy?
