Remco van Mook stepped down from the panel of arbiters due to his election to the RIPE NCC Executive Board. The panel of arbiters has expressed the wish to increase its number to ensure the minimum requirement is met that the panel of arbiters consist at all times of at least six people and to spread the work across a broader base of arbiters. The following six people currently make up the panel of arbiters: - Jaap Akkerhuis, RIPE DNS Working Group Co-chair - Kurt Kayser, Self-employed - David Kessens, RIPE IPv6 Working Group Chair - Olof Kolkman, Internet Architecture Board Chairman - Keith Mitchell, former RIPE NCC Executive Board Chairman - Wilfried Woeber, RIPE Database Working Group Chair The Executive Board asks for your assistance in providing suitable new members of the panel of arbiters. The Executive Board will then appoint several arbiters, depending on the number of volunteers. These appointments will be presented to the RIPE NCC General Meeting on 17 November 2010 for approval by the membership. See below for information on the Conflict Arbitration Procedure, including the requirements to be an arbiter: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/arbitration.html How to Volunteer ----------------- To volunteer to be a member of the panel of arbiters, please send an email stating your wish to volunteer, your contact details and a short biography to <nominations(a)ripe.net> by 13 October 2010. The Executive Board will then meet to appoint arbiters for the RIPE NCC membership's consideration. Best regards, Nigel Titley Chairman RIPE NCC Executive Board

Last call to participate: 2010 Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey
by Paul Rendek 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

[Apologies for duplicates] Dear Colleagues, This is a last-call reminder to participate in the 2010 Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey, conducted by GNKS Consult and TNO in collaboration with the RIPE NCC. The survey is available at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/IPv6deploymentmonitoring2010 The deadline to complete the survey is this Thursday, 1 July 2010. All five Regional Internet Registries have committed to soliciting participation in this survey in order to compile the most complete global IPv6 deployment data possible. The goal of the survey is to gain a better understanding of where the community is moving, and what can be done to ensure the Internet community is ready for the widespread adoption of IPv6. 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. 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. Results of the IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey will be presented and discussed at RIPE 61, which will be held 15-19 November in Rome, Italy. 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. Any questions concerning the survey itself should be addressed to <info(a)gnksconsult.com>. Regards, Paul Rendek Head of External Relations and Communications RIPE NCC
