I saw that someone mentioned the Nonprofit Technology Conference on this list a few weeks back. I wanted to write back to give a brief description of ARIN's participation in the event. ARIN participated in the "Science Fair" which was the NTC exhibition event. We spoke to many people one-on-one about IPv4 depletion and the need to consider IPv6 adoption. On Friday, we held a 90-minute conference session to discuss details about IPv4, IPv6, the Regional Internet Registry System, and other educational topics. We encouraged everyone we spoke to, to participate in the ARIN policy development process as well as other processes and activities. Attendees' technical knowledge ranged from minimal to extensive, but we found everyone extremely interested in learning more about the issues facing the Internet community. We distributed hundreds of fact sheets, multimedia CDs, and comic books to people who planned to read the materials themselves or pass along to the more technical staff members not present at the event. This was a very useful and valuable conference to attend. We gained a wealth of information regarding the various ways that nonprofit organizations are using "Internet Technology" in their communities. Please contact me if you are interested in talking about the event in general, ARIN's participation in it, or other events where you think ARIN could participate.
