<br>
As Sofia clarified, LACNIC wants to use every opportunity available
to get the IPv6 message out to its members. Each time a member comes
to us to request additional IPv4 space is in fact a golden
opportunity to do this, so we basically try to make the most of it.<br>
<br>
"Pushing" is probably too strong a word, and we definitely are not
in the business of dictating how organizations should run their
networks. However, we also have a duty towards our community, and if
we are not diligent enough in getting the message out, we risk
leaving people out in the cold.<br>
<br>
Look at it from a different angle: What would be your reaction if in
5-years time you came to LACNIC asking for IPv4 space and we said
"Ups, it ran out 2 years ago, but we forgot to mention it" ?<br>
<br>

<pre wrap="">Sofia, should we understand that you keep allocating IPv6 prefixes to a member even the previous this member received are not being used?

Subject: Re: [AfriNIC-rpd] Pushing IPv6
Dear all,
I just wanted to clarify that we are not "pushing" anyone and that we
are not "dictating to Members how to run their networks". The proposals
I mentioned (LAC-2011-02 and LAC-2011-3.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.lacnic.net/en/politicas/propuesta-politicas.html">http://www.lacnic.net/en/politicas/propuesta-politicas.html</a>) just
establish that the applicant has to request an IPv6 block in case they
don't already have one.
The proposal that applies to additional requests says that if the
applicant already has an IPv6 block, they have to send us a report
explaining what they are doing with IPv6, but we won't reject any
request in case the report says "we are not doing anything". At least
they will take a few minutes to think about it when writing this report.
Kind regards,
Ing. Sofía Silva Berenguer

<pre wrap="">Mark,
If i get you right, then this policy would be:-
1. Requiring Members applying for v4 to apply for and be
allocated/assigned v6 blocks as well
2. Requiring members to (somehow) demonstrate usage of their v6 blocks.
Borrowing from my experience authoring the IPv4 Softlanding Policy,
where similar ideas were advanced, i would say this would be
"dictating to Members how to run their networks..." - To use the exact
words used at the time.
Now, unless the community's take on this has changed, I remember these
points bringing alot of contention to the said Policy with the only
option being for us to remove the whole tying v4
allocation/assignment/usage to v6 (or the reverse) out of the Policy.
So going by the Community's feel at the time (which i doubt has
changed much), i wouldn't say this makes sense....But maybe i am wrong
on the community's perspective.
Regards,
