[cooperation-wg] "Incentives, Benefits, Costs, and Challenges to IPv6 Implementation"

Dear Colleagues,

As you may already have seen, the NTIA has published a Request For Comment regarding the implementation of IPv6. Apart from using the comments received to guide and inform NTIA’s efforts, they also intend to use this as a basis for a contribution to the IGF’s Best Practice Forum on IPv6.

A more detailed blog post on this RFC is available at https://www.ntia.doc.gov/blog/2016/ntia-seeks-input-it-develops-initiatives-increase-ipv6-adoption

Together with some community members I am participating in the IGFs Best Practice Forum (BPF) on IPv6: "Understanding the commercial and economic incentives behind a successful IPv6 deployment”.

I would like to encourage network operators and other stakeholders tin the RIPE region, who have any data that could be relevant to this project, to share this with the Best Practice Forum, using the questions as posted by the NTIA as a guide. In particular we are interested to learn more details about the costs and return on investment of an IPv6 deployment and the commercial or economic arguments that motivated the decision to invest in and deploy IPv6.

Contributions can be made directly to the Best Practice Forum mailing list at http://mail.intgovforum.org/mailman/listinfo/bp_ipv6_intgovforum.org or feel free to submit them to me personally and I am happy to forward them them on your behalf.

A more detailed description of the BPF can be found at http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/best-practice-forums/bpf-ipv6

We would also encourage RIPE community members, where applicable, to consider responding directly to the NTIA's RFC.

Regards,

Marco Hogewoning
