Dear Colleagues,
An IPv6 deployment panel discussion was held at the ICANN meeting in
Lisbon on Sunday 25 March between 13:00 and 15:00 (UTC+1). The session
focused on IPv6 deployment in the root DNS and ISP environments as well
as the policy support needed for this.
The panel consisted of Gert Doering from SpaceNet AG, who discussed the
ISPs' view of IPv6 deployment, Joao Damas from Internet Systems
Consortium (ISC) who discussed IPv6 deployment in the DNS and Alex Le
Heux from the RIPE NCC who gave the Regional Internet Registry (RIR)
perspective. The agenda, webcast and presentations can be found on the
meeting website at:
http://www.icann.org/meetings/lisbon/
Remote participation was possible through the ICANN public participation
site, which allowed registered users to ask questions and comment in
chatrooms and forums. The site can be found at:
http://public.icann.org/
The site can be reached through IPv6 as well as IPv4.
Regards,
Axel Pawlik

Dear Colleagues,
The Number Resource Organization (NRO) has announced today that the
Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) have reached an agreement to
voluntarily limit the size of IPv4 allocations they request from the
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).
In future, requests submitted to the IANA under the current global
policy for IPv4 allocations from IANA to RIRs will be voluntarily
limited to a maximum of two /8 blocks per request. The current global
policy can be found at:
http://www.aso.icann.org/docs/aso-001-2.pdf
This adjustment to the RIRs' standard practice will facilitate the
tracking of the IANA's IPv4 consumption rate and allow more active
management of the remaining IPv4 address pool.
The change will not affect the overall rate of IPv4 consumption as
measured by allocations from the RIRs to network infrastructure
operators. It will also not affect any of the RIPE NCC's regional
policies currently in place.
About the NRO
--------------------
Formed by the RIRs to formalise their co-operative efforts, the NRO
exists to protect the unallocated number resource pool, to promote and
protect the bottom-up policy development process, and to act as a focal
point for Internet community input into the RIR system. More information
about the NRO can be found at:
