A situation where the IPv6 address space would be managed, even partially, through national authorities would lead to great confusion and would be the source of technical difficulties regarding routing. ETNO believes that the current system based on RIRs, as part of the ICANN and in accordance with ICANN principles of transparency, bottom-up approach and geographic representation, must be maintained.
