agreed -----Original Message----- From: members-discuss-admin at ripe.net [mailto:members-discuss-admin at ripe.net] On Behalf Of Mark Barber Sent: 26 February 2010 11:16 To: Smales, Robert; members-discuss at ripe.net Subject: RE: [Admin] [members-discuss] [ncc-announce] RIPE NCC Position On The ITU IPv6 Group Ok, so if we are all in agreement that the ITU should not become a registrar, certainly all of the people I have discussed this with feel the same way. Basically everyone is happy with the way it is and cannot see any sensible need for the proposed kind change suggested. So....... Forgive me for my ignorance, but what do we do next, what happens next. Is there going to be a vote? How much control over OUR internet do we really have ??

What standing has the ITU-T in the IP world? In the OSI model, sureley the ITU-T is purely layer 1? What I don't understand is how the ITU-T is going to get its hands on IPv6 space to hand out to its national telco members. If APNIC/LACNIC/AFRINIC don't allocate space to them, what exactly could the ITU-T do about it? If they pass this proposal, how is it going to be enforced? I also don't understand the rationale of the proposal - which developing country has been told that the IPv6 pool isn't big enough to meet its foreseeable needs? The Internet community has managed the run-out of IPv4, may not be perfect but there is a plan, and if IPv6 space shows any sign of running out, there is no reason to suppose that IPv7 will not be developed (256-bit address space anyone?).
