[ncc-announce] Last call to participate: 2010 Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey
by Paul Rendek 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

[Apologies for duplicates] Dear Colleagues, This is a last-call reminder to participate in the 2010 Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey, conducted by GNKS Consult and TNO in collaboration with the RIPE NCC. The survey is available at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/IPv6deploymentmonitoring2010 The deadline to complete the survey is this Thursday, 1 July 2010. All five Regional Internet Registries have committed to soliciting participation in this survey in order to compile the most complete global IPv6 deployment data possible. The goal of the survey is to gain a better understanding of where the community is moving, and what can be done to ensure the Internet community is ready for the widespread adoption of IPv6. 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. The survey is composed of 23 questions and can be completed in about 15 minutes. For those without IPv6 allocations or assignments, or who have not yet deployed IPv6, the questions will be fewer in number. Results of the IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey will be presented and discussed at RIPE 61, which will be held 15-19 November in Rome, Italy. 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. Any questions concerning the survey itself should be addressed to <info(a)gnksconsult.com>. Regards, Paul Rendek Head of External Relations and Communications RIPE NCC

[ncc-announce] RIPE NCC Voting Evaluation Survey
by Axel Pawlik 09 Jun '10

09 Jun '10

Dear members, Following the launch of electronic voting at the May 2010 RIPE NCC General Meeting in Prague and the discussion that followed, the RIPE NCC is conducting a Voting Evaluation Survey to receive feedback from its members on all aspects of the voting procedures and methods employed by the RIPE NCC. The Voting Evaluation Survey is now online, and we encourage all members of the RIPE NCC to participate: http://www.ripe.net/membership/gm/gm-may2010/survey/ The two main goals of the Voting Evaluation Survey are to: - Determine ways to increase participation at RIPE NCC elections - Improve the voting process for those members who vote at RIPE NCC elections To better understand the wishes of the membership, we ask that members who do not usually participate in RIPE NCC elections, as well as those who do, to participate in this survey. All feedback is anonymous, and the survey should take less than five minutes to complete. The results of the survey will provide the RIPE NCC Executive Board and Senior Management with valuable feedback on RIPE NCC elections, and the findings will be presented to the membership at the next RIPE NCC General Meeting for its consideration. If you have any questions about this survey, please email <agm(a)ripe.net>. Regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

[ncc-announce] 2010 IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey Now Underway
by Paul Rendek 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

[Apologies for duplicates] Dear Colleagues, As announced at RIPE 60 in Prague, GNKS Consult and TNO are working with the RIPE NCC to repeat the 2009 survey 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://www.surveymonkey.com/s/IPv6deploymentmonitoring2010 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. As it is mostly the same as the survey carried out in 2009, comparison of progress will be possible. In addition, RIPE community participation will contribute to a better understanding of the global situation, as APNIC, AfriNIC and LACNIC will also send out the request to participate to their communities. 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. The survey is composed of 23 questions and can be completed in about 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 1 July 2010. Results of the IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey will be presented and discussed at RIPE 61, which will be held 15-19 November in Rome, Italy. 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.

[ncc-announce] 2007-01 Policy Implementation - Phase Two Deadline Extended
by Arne Kiessling 18 May '10

18 May '10

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear Colleagues, The RIPE NCC has once more extended the deadline for Phase Two of the 2007-01 policy implementation ("Contractual Requirements for Provider Independent Resource Holders in the RIPE NCC Service Region"). This decision is based upon feedback and input received from the RIPE community during RIPE 60 regarding the implementation of Phase Three of policy proposal 2007-01. In Phase Three the RIPE NCC will contact all holders of independent Internet resources who, at the end of Phase Two, have not signed an agreement with either a sponsoring LIR or the RIPE NCC regarding the registration of the resources assigned to them. The RIPE NCC will draft a procedural document for Phase Three and make it available for review on the NCC Services Working Group Mailing List in the near future. The deadline extension will also allow LIRs some more time to provide the necessary documentation for any independent Internet resources that they marked as "My End User" during the first step of Phase Two of the policy implementation. It is hoped that this will reduce the number of resource holders to be contacted in Phase Three of the policy implementation. The start of Phase Three is scheduled to begin after the RIPE 61 Meeting in November 2010. The RIPE NCC will update the community regarding definite timelines for the end of Phase Two, the start of Phase Three and other topics related to the policy implementation on the NCC Services Working Group Mailing List. If you have any comments or questions, please contact <enduser-contract(a)ripe.net>. Kind regards, Arne Kiessling IP Resource Analyst RIPE NCC
