Dear Colleagues,
This is a reminder that the IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey is
online, and we encourage all members of the RIPE community to
participate.
The final date for submitting a response is Friday, 3 July 2009.
You can access the survey at:
http://is-nri.com/take/?i=150597&h=1GwWe3dXXMcPrRrOw5s2yg
The survey is being conducted by TNO and GNKS Consult, working with
the RIPE NCC and sponsored by the European Commission. The aim of the
survey is to collect data on the current and future use of IPv6
throughout the RIPE NCC service region.
The survey is composed of 16 questions and can be completed in 10-15
minutes. Results will be presented and discussed at RIPE 59 and
published on IPv6 Act Now:
http://ipv6actnow.org
For more information on the IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey, please

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

Dear Colleagues,
Dr. Paul Twomey, CEO of ICANN, has posted an open letter to Axel Pawlik,
Managing Director of the RIPE NCC, noting ICANN's appreciation of the
role RIPE NCC plays as operator of k.root-servers.net, or simply K-root,
one of the 13 Internet root name servers.
The letter was sent in response to letters sent by the RIPE NCC,
Autonomica, operator of I-root, and WIDE Project, operator of M-root,
to ICANN in May 2009.
The letter notes that both ICANN and the RIPE NCC acknowledge "that a
single, unique DNS root is paramount to the stable operations of the
Internet and to ensure global interoperability", and that "close ICANN
coordination with the root-server operators provides a foundation for a
secure, stable and resilient DNS."
ICANN and the RIPE NCC have jointly committed to "coordinating their
respective activities regarding the DNS root name service with each
other and third parties". This includes "exchanging and maintaining the
necessary operational and administrative contact information, notifying
each other without undue delay of any (pending) operational changes or
any (pending) changes in their respective activities".

Dear Colleagues,
As announced at RIPE 58, TNO and GNKS Consult are working with the
RIPE NCC to conduct a survey, sponsored by the European Commission, on
the current and future use of IPv6 throughout the RIPE NCC service
region.
The IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey is now online, and we encourage
all members of the RIPE community to participate:
http://is-nri.com/take/?i=150597&h=1GwWe3dXXMcPrRrOw5s2yg
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 for the widespread adoption of IPv6. The survey was developed in
consultation with members of the RIPE community, and is inspired by
the 2008 survey conducted by ARIN and CAIDA in North America. It is
sponsored by the European Commission, which has actively supported the
adoption of IPv6, in the interests of innovation and the continuing
competitiveness of European industry.
We encourage all organisations in the RIPE NCC service region to
participate in this survey, which we hope will establish a
comprehensive view of present IPv6 penetration and future plans for
IPv6 deployment. By making the survey design similar to the ARIN/CAIDA
survey, we hope that the results will contribute to a better global
picture of current and future IPv6 deployment.
The survey is composed of 16 questions and can be completed in 10-15
minutes. For those without IPv6 allocations or assignments, or who
have not yet deployed IPv6, the questions will be fewer in number.
The survey will close on 3 July 2009.
Results of the IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey will be presented and
discussed at RIPE 59, which will be held 5-9 October in Lisbon,
Portugal. Results will also be published on IPv6 Act Now:
http://ipv6actnow.org
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

Paul Rendek
Head of External Relations and Communications
