Michael, sounds like your company is faring rather well... sending at least one person to any meeting, just jet'ing for a weeks meeting to Dubai... You've supposedly not seen any 'costs optimized by reduced staff' guy around for a long time. Maybe I should apply for a job? > If some people feel that the meeting is not important enough > to make an effort to attend, then they don't get a vote. > Whether it is because they can't afford to attend or because > they've already got full IPv6 services on offer, it makes no > difference. I think you're definitely wrong on this - and imho somewhat quite arrogant by that. RIPE's open to anybody, anybody being allowed to become a member. But excluding a bunch of members from the meetings by sheer cost (or time) is fine for you. The current practice of having to be physically on site for a vote has to stop soonest possible. We're in internet business - and rely on phys presence. That's ridicilous. Btw: No need to hint for proxy votes - who's trusting opponents? And what are proxy votes good for when not having heard or seen the discussion in before?

Did you take a look at the v6-dfz before writing this? At a quick glance in Frankfurt I see slightly more v6 downstream asn advertised from 8881 than from 5400. ;-) But enough on that... that's no topic for an apwg discussion.

Reopening discussion on RIPE Policy Proposal 2006-05
by Jeroen Wunnink 24 Aug '09

24 Aug '09

Members, I'd like to re-open the discussion for http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2006-05.html which is still pending approval. In the current IPv4 address policy, routability on the internet is not a factor that is allowed to be taken into account when a PI space is requested. Yet anything smaller then a /24 is pretty much useless since most providers filter anything below /24 out. -- Met vriendelijke groet, Jeroen Wunnink, EasyHosting B.V.

Hi This is Bryan with KRNIC(Korea Network Information Center) I wonder IP allocation about RIPE-NCC. I found allocation of " EU" in RIPE-NCC statistics.

How many they have member ? If you have any idea and information about "EU" please send me e-mail. thanks Bryan Hwang
