Re: [sig-policy] [Sig-policy] prop-073: Automaticallocation/assignmentof
I totally agree that there are various barriers for IPv6 deployment including lack of expertise.
However, the point which I cannot figure out well is whether there is the APNIC application
barrier to receiving IPv6 address space as described in prop-073 or not.

Certainly, "lack of IPv6 expertise" is big hurdle for IPv6 deployment and we should make
more opportunity of training. But, is it actually increased by "automatic IPv6 allocation/assignment"?

In May this year the NRO produced a document "NRO Response to TSB
‘Questionnaire on IPv6 Address Allocation and Encouraging the
Deployment of IPv6’"- available at http://nro.org/news/nro-response-to-itu.html
This document has some figures on IPv6 allocation across the globe and
I've been looking at the figures for our region. One thing that is
clear to me is that address allocation to economies in South East Asia
is much higher than in the rest of the region. That's what we'd expect
- Japan, Korea, Taiwan and China have deployed IPv6 with enthusiasm.
Australia also has plenty of IPv6 address space allocated and New
Zealand to a lesser degree.
But looking at the tables in the document there are plenty of
economies that haven't done much or anything about this.
So I think that your view of IPv6 may depend on where you live and work.
In the document there's also a section on the biggest hurdles to IPv6
deployment. Availability of IPv6 address space isn't cited there but
"Lack of IPv6 expertise" is the second highest hurdle listed. I think
it's pretty hard to gain expertise without training and the
opportunity to experiment with available IPv6 address space.

Our proposal doesn't try to impose this solution on the NIRs but we
recognise that it may have some influence on their policies. I'd also
like to hear from anyone who has a view on this.
