The total valid sample size is 40. According to the purposes of application for IPs, the members are divided into “IP registrants (Non-IP registrars)” which “apply for IPs to be used by themselves” and “IP registrars” which “apply for IPs to be used by other companies/agencies.” The ratio between both categories is 7:3, and “IP registrants” account for the majority in this survey.

With respect to the evaluation of satisfaction toward the relevant services used, all the services are largely rated positively. “read the TWNIC annual report, e-newsletter or others,” “followed official social media” and “Taiwan IPv6 global ranking website” all have 100% satisfaction. The reasons for good satisfaction with the services include the simplicity and high usability of websites, good perceptions toward the services, etc.

30% of the IP members or 12 interviewees have participated in the “formulation of IP allocation policies” including 7 from non-IP registrars and 5 representing IP registrars. Both are 100% satisfied with the formulation of such policies.

According to evaluation of the overall satisfaction of the IP members toward TWNIC, both “service quality” and “technical support” are rated positively by the IP members, with an average score of 4.3.

A further analysis of the perceptions of the “IP registrants” and “IP registrars” toward the overall satisfaction shows that half of the “IP registrars” are 100% satisfied with “service quality” and “technical support” and that half of the “IP registrants” think they are good. The primary service of “IP address allocation” has slightly higher satisfaction with an average score of 4.4. The satisfaction of the “IP registrants” is higher than that of the “IP registrars. With regard to trust and value perceptions, more than 50% of the interviewees think they are “very good” while the “IP registrars” have better trust and value perceptions.

According to the evaluation of the value perceptions of the IP members toward the registration services, the primary services of “IP member registration/IP membership request website” and “IP address/ASN allocation, second opinion audit” have the highest value perception, or 87.5%. The reasons for such positive perceptions include good services, flexible sales and diversified development.

Overall, only 15% of the IP members have completed provisioning or transition. 30% of them have yet to complete their plans, and 30% have not started to carry out their plans. In comparison, the rate of plan completion is higher in the case of “IP registrars.” Among the difficulties in IPv6 provisioning, the lack of motivation is the one faced by the most IP members, followed by the lack of technical knowledge

The rate of participation of the IP registrars in the training courses co-organized by APNIC is over 50%, with the majority of them participating in such courses twice at most. The satisfaction is 100%. In comparison, the participation rate of the IP registrants is lower, and their satisfaction is also lower.

The rates of participation of the IP members in conferences and training courses are 45% and 52.5% respectively. The rate of the “IP registrars” is nearly 10% higher than that of the “IP registrants”. Among the future expectations for events, “upload videos for future reference” (72.5%) is ranked first, followed by “downloadable conference or course content summaries” (55%). The expectations for both are over 50%, showing that compared to the addition of more features or values added, the preservability of contents is more important.
