I would love to see the RIPE NCC doing more to promote IPv6. I've 
visited training courses a few months ago; and I was told that it's our 
job as LIRs to promote IPv6 to our customers. In my opinion that sounds 
quite reasonable; the RIPE NCC can only reach the LIRs; the LIRs are the 
ones that can improve their customers awareness. Therefore I would say 
that the RIPE NCC needs the help of as much LIRs as possible to be able 
to increase general IPv6 deployment.

Mike had a very good example with a cake and vegetables: It might be an 
annoyance if you have to eat more vegetables in order to get a piece of 
cake; but, if mothers in general wouldn't care about their children's 
nutrition a lot of us folks would end up eating fast food all the time 
and in the end suffering from several severe diseases.

Stefan
