RIPE was not well run from its inception. Addresses at the beginning of the uprising were distributed without thought and by the wrong people who made mistakes.
I take a bit of offense at this statement. We've tried *since 1998* to make sure everyone has access to IPv6 blocks, to IPv6 trainings, to raise awareness about IPv6, so we'd never even hit the "IPv4 exhaustion" problem. People didn't care, and stuck to IPv4. We warned, and reduced the address blocks, to ensure late-comers would still have IPv4 (and repeated the "go to IPv6" part). People didn't care, and stuck to IPv4. So, how exactly should RIPE have known in 1998 how ... shortsighted ... the Internet community would act, over the next 26 years? Gert Doering -- former address policy WG chair -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...? SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v.
