<div>Mike - </div>
<div> </div>
<div> Thanks for raising his article to the attention of the PPML community.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> Geoff recently gave this presentation at APNIC Busan, and I invited him to</div>
<div> present the same at the upcoming ARIN meeting in Philly, as it definitely </div>
<div> provides as interesting perspective on the overall IPv4/IPv6 transition </div>
<div> issue. (I don't have confirmation, but believe that he will be presenting on </div>
<div> Wednesday morning during the Joint NANOG/ARIN portion of the program)</div>
