IPv6 allocation and the ITU
by Chris Disspain Nov. 4, 2009

Nov. 4, 2009

All, You may have heard that the ITU are once again seeking to expand their activities into the internet space. One example of this has involved a concerted effort on their part to persuade their membership that the allocation of IPv6 addresses is being done in such a way as to disadvantage developing countries, thereby justifying a bid to have ITU established as an additional Regional Internet Registry. Working closely with Paul Wilson, CEO of APNIC, ICANN prepared the attached paper, and got it agreed by all the RIR's as a common position paper on IPv6 address allocation. It is a self explanatory and stand alone fact sheet which was submitted to the ITU last week. Please feel free to share the paper with colleagues. It would be good if the paper were drawn to the attention of national representatives in the ITU.

Input on Council Workshop Nairobi
by Gabriella Schittek Nov. 4, 2009

Nov. 4, 2009

Dear Councillors, As you know, we have had Council workshops prior to the ccNSO meetings about 1x/year in the past. This means that it would be time to have another one in Nairobi - if you think it is needed. Could you please let me know what your feelings are about having another Council workshop in Nairobi by the end of this week, as I already need to schedule in such extra meetings now. Since there are many ccNSO working group meetings scheduled for Sunday afternoon, the workshop would most likely take place on Sunday morning, as it might be hard for several people to attend such a meeting on Saturday. Please, let me know what your thoughts are about this too. Many thanks! Gabi

Dear Council, Because of the short time between the last Council Call and the Council meeting in Seoul, the Minutes from the Council Call 13 October did not get a chance to go out on the list for comments. You will find them attached to this email and I am kindly asking you all to provide any comments before Tuesday 10 November. Best regards, Kristina
