Hi. A little more background/context that got me here. My original thinking was to do something like what ICANN and the RIRs have done, to bring awareness to the IPv4 situation and call for IPv6 deployment. I think the IETF can say a bit more about why, and the threats to the internet architecture. (This came out of some conversations I had at the recent ICANN meeting). Maybe this could be an IAB statement. Maybe an IETF statement. I'm not sure. But I think it would be useful to have an "IETF voice" also be heard in the call for deployment. Especially since there are still some going around saying "IPv6 is not needed." "IPv6 is still not done, so don't deploy yet", etc. Does the IETF think that deploying IPv6 is necessary and in the best interest of the Internet? If so, reiterating that would be good. I think though that it needs to be relatively short (which I probably have already blown), and high-level, since it's really aimed at higher level than your typical engineer. But the overal message needs to be "think really hard about IPv4 exhaustion and what it means to your business", "get serious about IPv6", and "it's done, so don't wait". To find a good balance between "short" and also include a bit more detail (especially on the implications of not seeing IPv6 deployed), perhaps a short executive summary (which I didn't get into -00) followed by a bit more detail (e.g., up to 3 pages or so) would do the trick.
