[ncc-announce] IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey Now Underway!

[Apologies for duplicates]


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:

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:

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 at gnksconsult.com 
 >.
