NANOG Community, After a great NANOG in Vancouver, BC, the survey results are in from 55 and we are already assembling a world-class program for NANOG 56. The North American Network Operators' Group (NANOG) will hold its 56th meeting in Dallas, TX on October 21 - 23, 2012 and join with ARIN on October 24, 2012. Terremark, a Verzion company, will be our host for NANOG 56. The NANOG Program Committee is now seeking proposals for presentations, panels, tutorials, tracks sessions, and keynote materials for the NANOG 56 program. We invite presentations highlighting issues relating to technology already deployed or soon-to-be deployed in the Internet. Vendors are encouraged to work with operators to present real-world deployment experiences with the vendor's products and interoperability. NANOG 56 submissions are welcome at http://pc.nanog.org <http://pc.nanog.org/> For further information on what the Program Committee is seeking, please see http://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog56/callforpresentations.html When considering submitting a presentation, keep these important dates in mind: Presentation Abstracts and Draft Slides Due: 06-August-2012 Final Slides Due: 27-August-2012 Draft Program Published: 17-September-2012 Final Agenda Published: 1-October-2012 Please submit your materials to http://pc.nanog.org Looking forward to seeing everyone in Dallas! -Dave Temkin (Chair, NANOG Program Committee)

Final Reminder: The IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey 2012
by The RIPE NCC 11 Jul '12

11 Jul '12

Dear colleagues, The Number Resource Organization invites you to participate in the 3rd consecutive IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey on the current and future use of IPv6. The IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey is online and we encourage all members of our community to participate: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GlobalIPv6survey2012 The survey will close this Friday, 13 July 2012. 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 and moving toward widespread adoption of IPv6. As it is mostly the same as the survey carried out globally in 2010 and 2011, comparison of progress will be possible. Last year’s results are available on the NRO website at: http://www.nro.net/documents/ipv6-survey-2011 You will note that 94% of last year’s over 1,600 respondents indicated that they were interested in participating again, in 2012. We encourage all organisations 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 widely. 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. If you have any questions concerning the survey, please send an email to info(a)gnksconsult.com. Best regards, The RIPE NCC On behalf of the Number Resource Organization
