Dear Carlos and Cheryl, I am very much pleased to hear the good result, and as I could not stay there, I really appreciate Carlos's effort in such a short notice/ timeframe, which is often the case at most ICANN meetings. I had sent the draft to APNIC General Manager Paul Wilson before and he generally seemed to agree with them. Though some terms changes suggested during the sesssion are welcome, I think this kind of process is very educational for both ends - users and suppliers - mutually. I hope we can keep the spirit high, and work with the in reigional and global fields, not only in the conference rooms. I will be hosting a 2-day conference in Japan, starting in less than 16 hours, (I have to fly there), which also includes a session on IPv4-v6 as one of the sub-topics of "Network Society" issues. Again, thank you all, best, izumi 2007/11/1, Annette Muehlberg <annette.muehlberg@web.de>:
yes, thanks to the two of you.

Good afternoon, I have just come from the presentation of this statement by Carlos on behalf of ALAC, to the ASO... (please note I have not included here the draft text as I was off the email grid when it was circulated to lists on Monday but if it did not go to both lists then I implore someone to rectify that I now have read on local network and send via my mail server as the only option :-(
Some *brief points* that will be further discussed in ALAC meetings should be noted by all of you interested in this matter of v4 -> v6...
Firstly our presentation was most warmly and generously received, and our thanks go to Carlos Aguirre for both his presentation and his work in preparing for this matter when Izumi (our normal lead in this topic) was unable to stay in LA for this meeting...
It is my firm belief that as a result of his representation to the ASO meeting, we have established a clear profile as a 'party of interest' which needs to be involved with the policy deliberation processes that occurs in this group (not only in the important issue of IPv4 distribution) but also any other matters that effect us as the end user (i.e. consumers of the services) that the addressing infrastructure provides for...
Secondly several questions were asked, and comments made, after the presentation...
Carlos will fully outline these in his report back to ALAC on this meeting, but a few excellent suggestions regarding a change of the terms used in our draft document were made, and should be noted by the At-Large Community, as we will desire YOUR input on these particular points, as we do our edit...
Specifically these were the use of 'migration' this term has certain contextual / interpretation issues and it is advised that we should replace it in our documentation with the term "transition", and the very valid point that the use of the term "black-market" needs replacing with a nomenclature that indicates that it is an undesirable secondary market... the potential of what does the word 'hype' means in the draft was pre-emptively dealt with by Carlos in his annotation to that section and also requires attention.
Also ARIN have kindly supplied us with access to some of their plain language summary of issues texts which will greatly enhance our own outreach efforts in our regions and local environments and *most importantly* have already done extensive translation pieces of this text which we can use AND seem willing to explore possible assistance to us in translation to language not currently addressed in their document repository.
Finally this is a clear invitation (if not mandated requirement) for us to be actively involved in the policy development *particularly* at the policy development points in the community input into the regional registry processes this constituency uses... And as they use a regional based system which mirrors our own interaction and mutual exchange of idea points do not need to be "created" they do however need to be locally actioned.
And I know I personally look forward to our future work together in matters of mutual interest.
Kindest regards,
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO)
