Are you bating Mr Sutton Joe? :)
I think there is general enthusiasm for IP6, but no real commercial driver to do it. We know it is the future eventually, but as companies there is little obvious benefit in being first. Exactly a good spot for InternetNZ to be working in, promoting and doing the groundwork for future activities of its members and the Internet community. But I expect InternetNZ has little or no direct influence on network operators in this regard, beyond enthusiasm and promoting discussion.

I am standing as a Candidate for Councillor on a platform to encourage IP4 multicast peering and service to users of the public Internet in New Zealand. There is significant effort within InternetNZ to encourage NGI and IP6, however, this can not provide immediate public access to multicast services.
I'm interested to know what influence you think the InternetNZ council has over network operators, and how they might dictate what protocols operators decide to deploy in their networks.
