7) Future actions regarding discussion of national allocations/reservations

AP. Propose to do an investigation regarding the consequences of the implementation of reservation of IPv6 space for nations.

RP. I agree. We need to positively describe how NIR systems. We need to have a discussing paper describing the RIR systems, how it works.

AP. we can have then the scientific bases about the implementation of national reservations. We need to review this and see the impacts not only technical but in the system.

PW I agree with the proactively attitude from the RIR regarding the research about the country reservation. Whatever how the research end up this service should be provided by the RIR. Consider a parallel system besides RIR it is not good idea.

AP We are facing perhaps two kinds of studies, one about the size of the reservations and other about the technical impacts so the community can decide if this is good for the system.

AA For me, is two level of research, the first one is to say yes or no, second how this reservations should be done.
