John Curran has, and soon Richard will supplement John¹s effort to advocating IPv6 transition to various industry sectors who may not have direct visibility to the run out of IPv4 and need to transition to IPv6.  This could include financial, manufacturing, distribution, marketing, etc. industry sectors.
On the IPv6 awareness, reaching out to Marketing and PR folks to get their websites IPv6 enabled (get6 campaign).

4. Post-IPv4 Observations
IPv4 demand remains high
Increased transfers/market activity
Decrease in free pool IPv4 requests
Seeing an increase in attempted resource hijacking and fraudulent activities related to transfers
IPv4 blocks with stale contact information (especially legacy) are the prime targets
IPv6 requests remain steady
Standard IPv4 requests are down because the free pool can no longer satisfy such requests and the waiting list for

5. IPv4 Request Activity
Shifted from mostly free pool requests to market transfers

6. Ongoing Training and Education Efforts
Educational Materials library (RIR/IPv6/Technical Information and Statistics)
Instructional Video Library
In-person Training/Education
ARIN on the Road, ARIN + NANOG on the Road, other fora upon request
Personalized telephone consultations offered to all customers
Phone helpdesk, operated Monday-Friday, 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM
ARIN offers extensive training and education options to members, customers, and anyone willing to find us online or in their own backyards. We have a large number of educational fact sheets, slide decks, and quick guides for RIR and Internet number resource knowledge and ARIN’s technical services, an instructional video library on YouTube for public consumption, and a floating series of free in-person educational sessions known as ARIN on the Road, bringing our experts in ARIN’s technical and registration services to cities throughout the region, Caribbean included. For an even wider offering of a more intensive training option, our Registration Services team now concludes each Internet number resource request approval confirmation with an invitation to have dedicated staff spend time with them on the phone reviewing their inventory, how to manage their ARIN Online records, or to learn how to best use ARIN’s technical services like DNSSEC, RPKI, etc. And for anyone with questions about ANY of the above or other ARIN inquiries we have a Registration Services telephone helpdesk provided for twelve hours a day every weekday.

7. Outreach and Community Engagement
Engage members and customers in Policy Development through Public Policy Meetings and Consultations
Work closely with NANOG, ISOC, and other industry groups to ensure education, empowerment, engagement
Collaborate with Caribbean organizations to maximize inclusion
CANTO
Caribbean Telecommunications Union (CTU)
CaribNOG
Caribbean Internet Governance Forum
More!
Outreach is a big part of ARIN, and we strive to keep the community well-informed, wherever they may be. Our approach to this is three-fold. Firstly, we engage our membership, customers, and any interested parties through our Policy Development Process, which I’ll speak further to in a moment. ARIN holds policy meetings twice a year designed to engage as many voices, even those previously unheard, in Internet number resource policy. Second, we work very closely with NANOG, the Internet Society, and numerous other entities under the Internet technical community umbrella to ensure that their membership, often entirely overlapping with our own, is educated, empowered, and engaged in our processes. Third, and not at all least, we engage with various organizations in the Caribbean specifically, such as CANTO, the Caribbean Telecommunications Union, CaribNOG, and others, to maximize their inclusion in both policy development and stakeholder engagement throughout the remainder of the ARIN region.

8. International Community Engagement
International Internet Governance Participation
Fostering working relationships on a global scale
Being a key resource for Internet governance debate participants
Supporting cooperation and direct involvement alongside governments and international organizations
Support and participate in the Canadian, Caribbean, and US regional Internet governance forums
Internationally, ARIN has a number of participation and liaising opportunities we take advantage of to keep our community educated on the state of Internet affairs as well as keeping their voice a part of the conversation. Firstly, we again work with entities in the Caribbean like CANTO, Caribbean IGF and the like on matters of international Internet governance and policy discussions spanning nations served by both ARIN and LACNIC.
Second, ARIN maintains a keen interest and established position as an Internet governance thought leader, fostering working relationships on a global scale, being a key resource for Internet governance debate participants, supporting cooperation and direct involvement alongside governments and international organizations to share and strengthen global knowledge about Internet governance issues.
