4. Nominee Information

I have not attended an ARIN meeting.
b) What areas of Internet number resource policy, if any, need more attention by ARIN; why?
I would like to see ARIN continue and expand advocacy for IPv6 for Enterprise organizations. In my experience, most Enterprises, particularly SMB, face significant cost and complexity to deploy v6 on their networks. Until they see a compelling business case for v6, they will not move forward.
