But I do believe that it is not completely unreasonable to find a
fair mechanism to distribute the remaining bits of IPv4 (for various
use cases, perhaps not being overly aggressive at not only singling
out some being more important than others, but also being more
conservative about their fare share of the remaining space) while at
the same time pushing for quick and early implementation of IPv6.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>+ 1</div><div><br></div><div>I'd challenge this community to find out how to accomplish this.</div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Tahoma;font-size:16px" text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

In fact, if there is a way to write the proposal such that it
encourages the implementation of IPv6, that is an avenue worth
exploring. I know there is language in the current proposal to
suggest that an LIR or End User must demonstrate ownership of an
IPv6 allocation (and if one is absent, obtain one as part of the
IPv4 allocation application), but I think this is a bit is weak if
we want to leverage the proposal to promote IPv6.</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>+1 </div><div>Simply showing an IPv6 allocation is extremely weak as to be useless especially now that</div><div><br></div><div>a) If you already have IPv6, it doesn costs you anything</div><div>b) You can simply park your IPv6 allocation and not do any kind of deployment</div><div><br></div><div>It'll be great to see the community come up with what constitutes a reasonable prove of IPv6 deployment that depends fully on the requester (not their customers etc). </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>- </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Tahoma;font-size:16px" text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
Well, one way is to let the remaining space float and be allocated
based on current active policies. While I can see the case for this,
I believe that despite Africa not being necessarily a unique case in
the grand scheme of Internet things, it does present an opportunity
for us to do/try something different that best utilizes the
remaining IPv4 space, but not at the expense of IPv6; rather, in
favor of it.</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>+1 again</div><div><br></div><div>For if this policy doesn't help drive IPv6 deployment, I wonder what it's claim to 'Softlanding' is.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family:inherit;font-style:inherit;font-variant:inherit;line-height:inherit;color:rgb(51,51,51);margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mukom" target="_blank">LinkedIn:Mukom</a> </span> | twitter: @perfexcellent <br></div></div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;vertical-align:baseline;line-height:17px;color:rgb(51,51,51)"><form action="https://www.linkedin.com/profile/vanity-name-submit" name="UNIQUE_ID_SafeHtmlFilter_vanityUrlForm" method="POST" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-style:inherit;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:baseline;font-variant:inherit;line-height:inherit" target="_blank" onsubmit="try {return window.confirm("You are submitting information to an external page. \nAre you sure?");} catch (e) {return false;}"><ul style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-style:inherit;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:baseline;list-style:none;font-variant:inherit;line-height:inherit"></ul></form></div>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>“When you work, you are the FLUTE through whose lungs the whispering of the hours turns to MUSIC" - Kahlil Gibran<br>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br></div></div>
