IP addresses for the RIPE NCC

Hi,

just a bit of information. The RIPE NCC has enough IPv4 addresses to
support its present and foreseen services and infrastructure. See
whois.ripe.net

The RIPE NCC, on the other hand, has no IPv6 addresses.

I think this matter is one for the LIRs, as main users of RIPE NCC
services, to decide on.

I shall not try to defend any of the possible options but would
definitely request a path forward in order for us to be able to
start implementing services over IPv6 transport.

Thanks
Joao
