29 Sep '08

[Apologies for duplicates] Dear Colleagues, Almost seven hundred organisations have responded so far to the IPv6 Penetration Survey. Sponsored by ARIN, in cooperation with the Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA), this survey is gathering data regarding current and future use of IPv6 around the world. All organisations in the AfriNIC, APNIC, ARIN, LACNIC and RIPE NCC regions are invited to participate in the survey so we can establish a comprehensive view of present IPv6 penetration and future plans for IPv6 deployment. The survey opened on 8 September and remains available until 17:00 EDT on 1 October. The results of the survey will be presented and discussed at the ARIN XXII Public Policy and Members Meeting to be held in Los Angeles, California from 15-17 October 2008. Additionally, the summary results will be shared with all the RIRs for further distribution within their respective regions. The survey data will support ongoing research. The survey is composed of 22 questions that can be answered in a few minutes. This is a secure survey and all data will be presented in summary form only, and kept confidential between ARIN and CAIDA. When you complete the survey you will be entered in a drawing for prizes, one raffle per RIR region. You must provide your contact information to win. Please take a few moments to complete the survey located at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=loMM8qu18yFoKyi0rTUpQg_3d_3d Regards, Paul Rendek Head of External Relations and Communications RIPE NCC
