<br class="">
Opposed for multiple reasons.<br class="">
<br class="">
First, it should not be ARINs role to dictate the manner in which<br class="">
networks are operated. We have routinely resisted the notion that, for<br class="">
example, spammers should have resources revoked. Now we're proposing<br class="">
to deny resources to networks that decide not to operate IPv6.<br class="">
<br class="">
Second, the proposal is premised on the idea that IP addresses are<br class="">
solely allocated for the purpose of operation on the public network,<br class="">
despite policy being clear that that's not the case. While that's<br class="">
certainly the predominate use case, there is nothing that prevents a<br class="">
private interconnected network from operating on<br class="">
ARIN-assigned/allocated public space without connecting to the<br class="">
Internet. Are we proposing to deny any future transfers for such<br class="">
networks? They would by their nature be unable to prove IPv6<br class="">
connectivity to ARIN (except as a stunt -- see below) and would be<br class="">
unable to get a statement from their upstream (since they would have<br class="">
none) as to the availability of IPv6 connectivity.<br class="">
<br class="">
Third, this encourages meaningless stunts. A network that does not<br class="">
desire to opreate V6 is not going to reconsider that decision as a<br class="">
result of this policy. At best, they will get an IPv6 allocation or<br class="">
assignment from ARIN, route it to one subnet, put a device on it long<br class="">
enough to perform whatever ceremony ARIN requires to prove IPV6<br class="">
connectivity, get their transfer, and then shut it down (or maybe leave<br class="">
it there in case they have to reperform the ceremony should they<br class="">
transfer additional addresses in the future). More likely, this will<br class="">
cause the creation of a new industry: organizations needing to complete<br class="">
an IPv6 connectivity validation to get a IPv4 transfer processed will<br class="">
sign a LOA granting their Ceremony Consultant the right to announce<br class="">
their IPv6 allocation/assignment long enough to complete the ceremony,<br class="">
and their consultant will do all the work necessary to get the required<br class="">
box checked in ARIN's systesm.<br class="">
<br class="">
This will not drive IPv6 adoption. I oppose the use of ARIN or<br class="">
community resources on stunts, and I oppose the creation of a "IPv6<br class="">
Ceremony Consultant" industry.<br class="">
