From info at arin.net Tue Oct 1 09:59:42 2013 From: info at arin.net (ARIN) Date: Tue, 01 Oct 2013 09:59:42 -0400 Subject: [arin-announce] New ARIN Online Instructional Videos Message-ID: <524AD54E.20304@arin.net> We are pleased to announce three new ARIN Online instructional videos for ARIN Online users. The first video in this series, entitled ?Managing Your ARIN Records,? provides an overview of the relationship between records in ARIN?s database, and how users can search for and manage them through the ARIN website. Two additional videos, entitled ?Point of Contact (POC) Records? and ?Organization Identifiers (Org IDs)? guide users through common processes, such as creating and recovering specific records, and linking them to ARIN Online accounts. We hope that these videos will serve as a valuable resource for ARIN Online users. We are currently developing additional instructional videos which will be released in the coming months, so stay tuned, and feel free to contact info at arin.net with any feedback, suggestions, or questions.

This is the fourth global survey to be run and establishes that most organizations recognize the importance of transitioning to IPv6. Approximately 1,515 respondents from 131 economies participated in this year?s survey. The findings show that organizations are seeing client uptake of IPv6, and that they are increasingly promoting IPv6 to their customers. 80 percent of respondents plan to deploy IPv6 within two years or sooner. Of that group, over half already offer IPv6 to their customers. The survey was funded by the European Commission and conducted by GNKS Consult. The survey was prepared and carried out by GNKS in close collaboration with AFRINIC, APNIC, ARIN, LACNIC and the RIPE NCC.

This year's theme, "Building Bridges ? Enhancing Multistakeholder Cooperation for Growth and Sustainable Development", was reflected in many workshop discussions. Many workshops focused on defining the term Multistakeholder and what multistakeholderism looks like in practice. One definition offered by Drs. Mark Raymond and Laura DeNardis, CIGI, in their paper "Thinking Clearly about Multistakeholder Internet Governance", suggests that multistakeholderism should be looked at with a view towards how it measures up in openness. They detailed different aspects of openness; participatory openness, informational openness, and implementational openness in their paper which will be available later this year. Another major focus area was how to develop processes that ensure the parties most impacted by specific Internet-related policy decisions have a voice in determining a result that keeps the Internet open, available, flexible and scalable. Collectively as the Number Resource Organization (NRO), the RIRs hosted a booth to provide educational materials on IPv6 and the open and transparent community policy development process facilitated by each RIR. The NRO sponsored two workshops, one on "IPv4 Markets and Resource Transfers" and a second on "The Importance of Regional Coordination in Internet Governance". There was some discussion and support for the technical community's recent Montevideo Statement (http://www.nro.net/news/montevideo-statement-on-the-future-of-internet-cooperation). A new proposal was introduced during the week by Brazil to host a Summit meeting in May 2014 where multistakeholder discussions will work toward launching a process that would achieve principles and norms to guide the use and operation of the Internet. AFRINIC COO Anne-Rachel Inne, in closing ceremony remarks on behalf of the technical community, commented, "We hope that it will be possible to maintain the open and collaborative spirit of the Internet cooperation which we witnessed at the Bali IGF meeting ? it is needed for the further evolution of Internet governance in all discussions going forward." She went on to call on the United Nations to help efforts to strengthen the IGF Secretariat and to find financial support to safeguard these important annual meetings.
