For those interested in the outcome, a "raw" transcript and session summary statement are available here: I'd like to thank APNIC for hosting this session as it is important to discuss these issues publicly in timely manner so that input can be brought to the the March 15-16 ITU IPv6 study group meeting in Geneva. By having a public discussion of these important issues, APNIC (as an ITU-D sector member) can submit the outcome for further consideration in this process. While the ITU IPv6 study group is a closed meeting, I have received an invitation to participate on March 15-16 in Geneva on ARIN's behalf as an "invited expert", and at that session I will focus on the comments covered in the public consultation held today. If you have additional input on this topic that you would like to have considered, please do the following: 1) If your company has a public policy representative involved in the ITU (generally due to being a supporting member of the ITU), please introduce me to them asap so that we may coordinate as appropriate. 2) Become familiar with the outcomes of the APNIC session, and send any additional comments to "IPv6 at apnic.net" and myself. The APNIC community consultation process continues till Friday 5 March, 9 AM local meeting time [UTC + 8:00]. I will continue to take comments beyond that point till ITU IPv6 meeting start and do my best to convey the input received. As you can tell, we're attempting to be as accommodating as possible to the ITU as they explore the issues in this area, and their processes are significantly different than ours regarding how input is received and considered. At this point, ARIN considers it very important to support these educational efforts, and hope that it will result in better overall understanding of the success that is today's Internet Registry System. I hope this email helps the community understand where we are in this interesting process.
