ISOC, the NRO and the RIRs Reinforce Importance of IPv6 Deployment for the Future of the Internet
by The RIPE NCC 06 Jun '12

06 Jun '12

6 June 2012 – Thousands of companies and millions of websites around the world are permanently deploying the next generation Internet Protocol, IPv6, ensuring the Internet remains open and accessible for the future. World IPv6 Launch, organized by the Internet Society, begins today and is supported by the Number Resource Organization (NRO) and the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) who have long played a vital role in raising awareness about supporting the global deployment of IPv6. Many parts of the world are increasing broadband penetration, more smart phones and network-ready devices are entering the market, and the sheer number of Internet users is steadily increasing – all of which raises IP address consumption. With IPv4 becoming scarce, the need for IPv6 deployment grows daily. “World IPv6 Launch is a permanent step forward to ensure the Internet can connect all the people in the world, for many years to come,” said Leslie Daigle, Chief Internet Technology Officer for the Internet Society. “The Internet Society, NRO, and RIRs are strong advocates for the importance of IPv6 and its impact on the Internet's future growth.” John Curran, Chairman of the NRO stated, “As the world moves to IPv6 in order to maintain the truly ubiquitous Internet, the Regional Internet Registries and their membership, which includes Internet Service Providers, Telecommunications companies, and other organizations around the globe, are focused on deployment of IPv6. To those who see the World IPv6 Launch as your opportunity to get 'IPv6-enabled', regardless of what industry you are in, please take this opportunity to see what educational resources are available to you through your local Regional Internet Registry.” The NRO represents the five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs), which are collectively part of the proven and successful multistakeholder approach to managing global Internet resources, such as IP addresses. As members of the Internet technical community, the RIRs play a key role in raising awareness and preparing the Internet’s technical infrastructure for large-scale IPv6 deployment. The RIRs work closely with their communities to educate, promote, and share information relating to IPv6. To learn more about ongoing efforts in each RIR region, visit the following websites: AFRINIC’s IPv6 Virtual Lab: www.afrinic.net/projects/cvl.htm; IPv6 Resource Center: www.afrinic.net/index.php/en/ipv6-portal APNIC’s IPv6 Program: www.apnic.net/ipv6 ARIN’s IPv6 Wiki: www.getipv6.info LACNIC’s IPv6 Information Center: portalipv6.lacnic.net/en RIPE NCC’s IPv6 Act Now: www.ipv6actnow.org About the Internet Society The Internet Society is the trusted independent source for Internet information and thought leadership from around the world. With its principled vision and substantial technological foundation, the Internet Society promotes open dialogue on Internet policy, technology, and future development among users, companies, governments, and other organizations. Working with its members and Chapters around the world, the Internet Society enables the continued evolution and growth of the Internet for everyone. For more information, visit www.internetsociety.org. About the Number Resource Organization (NRO) The Number Resource Organization (NRO) is the coordinating mechanism for the five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs). The RIRs – AFRINIC, APNIC, ARIN, LACNIC, and the RIPE NCC – ensure the fair and equitable distribution of Internet number resources (IPv6, IPv4 addresses and Autonomous System (AS) numbers) in their respective regions. The NRO exists to protect the unallocated Internet number resource pool, foster open and consensus-based policy development, and provide a single point of contact for communication with the RIRs.

2012 Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey - Open Now Until 30 June
by Axel Pawlik 01 Jun '12

01 Jun '12

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, The Number Resource Organization (NRO), on behalf of all the Regional Internet Registries, invites you to participate in the 3rd consecutive Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey on the current and future use of IPv6. The purpose of the survey is to better understand where the community is moving, and what can be done to ensure that 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. The IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey is now online, and we encourage all members of our community to participate: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GlobalIPv6survey2012 The survey will be open for a month and will close on 30 June 2012. We anticipate a good response rate as 94% of last year's over 1600 respondents from around the globe indicated that they were interested in participating again. We encourage all organisations to participate in order for the results to 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. For those interested, the results of last year's survey are available: http://www.nro.net/wp-content/uploads/ipv6_deployment_survey.pdf. Results of this year's 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. Regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

RIPE NCC Returns Legacy Address Space to IANA
by Axel Pawlik 23 May '12

23 May '12

Dear colleagues, On 6 May 2012, the ICANN Board ratified GPP-IPv4-2011, "Global Policy for Post Exhaustion IPv4 Allocation Mechanisms" by IANA. This global policy enables IANA to redistribute any recovered IPv4 address space equally amongst the RIRs. Following the ratification of this global policy, on 22 May 2012 the RIPE NCC returned to IANA the 1,368,576 legacy IPv4 addresses that have been returned to the RIPE NCC and plans to return any other legacy IPv4 address space that is returned to the organisation in the future. For more information about this, please see: http://www.ripe.net/internet-coordination/news/announcements/returned-legac… The ICANN Board Resolution is available at: http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-06may12-en.htm The full text of Global Policy GPP-IPv4-2011 is available at: https://www.icann.org/en/news/in-focus/global-addressing/allocation-ipv4-po… Kind regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC
