ISOC ISP Column: #IPv6 penetration reaches 5%
In the April 2010 edition of Geoff Huston’s ISOC ISP Column he reports that the extent of full end-to-end IPv6 capability in today’s Internet is now at a level of 5% of all end systems. This number is now at a level where IPv6 deployment is now passing from mere statistical interest to mainstream commercial importance.

ITU Council Working Group on #IPv6 – Report on First Meeting in Geneva
REPORT: ITU IPv6 Group meeting
Provided by: Bill Graham, ISOCGeneva, February 15-16, 2010
The ITU convened the first meeting of the Council-chartered IPv6 Group in Geneva, co-chaired by the Directors of the Telecommunication Standardization and Telecommunication Development Bureaus. The meeting was chaired by Dr. Mohammed El-Khamis of the United Arab Emirates, and was attended by about 20 Member States and an equivalent number of Sector Members and invited experts. The latter group included the RIRs and the authors of two studies commissioned by the ITU: Dr. Milton Mueller and Dr. Sureswaran Ramadass. For ISOC, Bill Graham and Constance Bommelaer, Leslie Daigle and Mat Ford attended. In addition, all five Regional Internet Registry CEOs and four RIR staff attended the meeting. Three ICANN staff were available to attend, but ICANN had not been invited as experts, and after some discussion, attendees decided not to let them join this meeting. This decision will be revised for future meetings. No civil society organizations were present.

Vint Cerf comments on 1) user centric approach to Net Neutrality 2) unbundling
Two interesting remarks by Vint in this interview:
Vint Cerf: we’ve only scratched internet’s surface
1) Straying from the Google NN hard line he endorses, if a little weakly, the Internet Society’s User-centric approach
The ultimate solution, he says, may be a combination of enforced transparency and user tools. If ISPs are required to disclose how they’re managing their networks, and if users are provided with the proper technology to see how their connections are faring at any given time, anti-competitive actions should be hard to conduct without being detected.
“I wouldn’t object out of hand that proposal,” he says. “It has been the means by which some abusive practices have been exposed here in the U.S.”
2) He thinks that unbundling is gaining favour at the FCC & Congress – this directly contradicts recent statements by Blair Levin, overseer of the National Broadband Plan.
Cerf is pleased with the direction the United States is taking in regards to providing internet access to its citizens. Government and regulators there are beginning to favour the sort of open-access rules, where big network-owning companies must rent their infrastructure to other competitors, that have been in place in Europe and parts of Asia for years. Cerf thinks open access is the wave of the future.

New ISOC Consultation Process guidelines
An Internet Society working group recently drafted new guidelines for policy establishment consultations between members, chapters, and the global ISOC organization.
Fundamentals are as follows:
1. The ISOC Principles are shared core values utilized in policy formation but could use a revamp.
2. Policy decisions, even when considered relatively minor, should be shared amongst the parties.
3. Mutual respect for roles and responsibilities are fundamental to a positive collaboration process.
4. Language is a major issue.
5. The concept of subsidiarity should be employed by ISOC participants for consultations.
A simple set of summary guidelines has been provided.

Australia debates broadband initiative
The Australian Government has organised a forum to debate benefits and structures from the planned A$40B plus investment in our National Broadband Network, in a session that will take place on 10 and 11 Dec 2009 (Australian time).
ISOC-AU has been joint hosting the Australian IPv6 Summit 2009 over the last two days, where we have heard the point that IPv6 is imperative for continued growth of the open worldwide Internet, including from Leslie Dagle of ISOC. Now we need to ensure that this principle is embodied in plans for Australia’s National Broadband Network. See:
http://www.ipv6.org.au/summit/Online input into the Australian discussions is welcomed. You can submit ideas and view streaming of presentations. See:
http://broadbandfuture.gov.au/In line with discussions at the Australian IPv6 Summit, I have submitted the
following suggestion just now:
“The National Broadband Network must be future proofed and as flexible
as possible, incorporating and making available to users technologies
such as IPv6 from day one, and fully available service enablers like
high grade DNS (IPv6 of course).”
Tony, ISOC-AUI encourage all ISOC members and supporters to go to the Website
and vote for this idea so that it comes to the top of the list. URL:

thanks, Tony
