Hello Richard,

On Monday January 16 2017 21:17, you wrote to me:

We have a Dutch equivalent: http://new.ipv6-taskforce.nl/

If you clicl on "Agenda 2014" yoh can see a list of "recent" activities.

 RM> The goal was to do lobbying for IPv6, the results were not visible.

 RM> I am sorry ... bit I am disillusioned ...

And rightly so...

Here in NL it is not tha bad , The chairman is a university professeor.

But as you can see, nothng much is happening any more. The Dutch IPv6 Task Froce fell asleep in 2014. :(

 RM> Currently I am quit sure that real change will only come when "normal"

 RM> feel the pain EN MASSE.

Already in 2009 I decided not to buy any new network equipment that does not support IPv6. I managed to live up to that. I also said goodbye to one DNS provider for not providing IPv6.

It did not make much of an impression....


Cheers, Michiel
