[ncc-announce] 2010 IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey Now Underway

[Apologies for duplicates]


Dear Colleagues,

As announced at RIPE 60 in Prague, GNKS Consult and TNO are working  
with the RIPE NCC to repeat the 2009 survey on the current and future  
use of IPv6 throughout the RIPE NCC service region.

The IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey is now online, and we encourage  
all members of the RIPE community to participate:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/IPv6deploymentmonitoring2010

The purpose of the survey is to better understand where the community  
is moving, and what can be done to ensure the Internet community is  
ready for the widespread adoption of IPv6. As it is mostly the same as  
the survey carried out in 2009, comparison of progress will be  
possible. In addition, RIPE community participation will contribute to  
a better understanding of the global situation, as APNIC, AfriNIC and  
LACNIC will also send out the request to participate to their  
communities.

We encourage all organisations in the RIPE NCC service region to  
participate in this survey, which we hope will establish a  
comprehensive view of present IPv6 penetration and future plans for  
IPv6 deployment. The survey is composed of 23 questions and can be  
completed in about 15 minutes. For those without IPv6 allocations or  
assignments, or who have not yet deployed IPv6, the questions will be  
fewer in number.

The survey will close on 1 July 2010.

Results of the IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey will be presented and  
discussed at RIPE 61, which will be held 15-19 November in Rome,  
Italy. Results will also be published on IPv6 Act Now:

Please provide your name and contact information on the survey form if  
you wish to receive the draft survey analysis when available. Please  
also indicate whether you are willing to share additional data with  
the TNO and GNKS Consult IPv6 Deployment Monitoring team.

We appreciate your time and interest in completing this survey. If you  
have any questions concerning the survey, please send an email to <info at gnksconsult.com 
 >.

Regards,

Paul Rendek
Head of External Relations and Communications RIPE NCC
