I strongly agree with John here, and with the sentiment overall: one of the
best roles an RIR can play in the grander scheme of things is to enable and
never to disincentivize moving forward towards emerging community-accepted
standards and technologies such as embracing IPv6 to deal with IPv4
suffocation, enhancing security by promoting and enabling RPKI deployment,
etc. Let's all work together to make the internet a better place for
everyone.
