Hi Collin,

I definitely think so. Especially if we can help translate why it isn't merely a technical function. That is, the Atlas program has many implications for business, civil society, and government as well -- each for different reasons. And it will only expand as more probes and anchors come online.

Best,
-Michael

Thanks for sharing this Marco,

Appears that a diversity of stakeholders have contributed to this process, and some of the comments that I've read through have been interesting (if only for who replied). 


If I can put one thing on the CWG-Internet radar aside from IPv6, measurement systems such as RIPE Atlas should also have a place in building an enabling environment – something that is less likely to be covered by other non-commercial or governmental comments. Would it be worthwhile to also promote measurement of access in such forums?

Cordially,
Collin

Dear colleagues,

In response to the ITU Council Working Group on International Internet-related Public Policy Issues (CWG-Internet)’s open consultation “Building an enabling environment for access to the Internet”, we have prepared and submitted the attached contribution on behalf of the RIPE NCC.

In our submission we emphasise the need for IPv6 and highlighted the ongoing coordinated efforts by all stakeholders to expedite the deployment of IPv6 in their networks, services and products.

Should you have any questions regarding this consultation or our contribution, please do not hesitate to contact me or one of my colleagues.

Regards,
