30 September 2010--The Internet Society welcomed the announcement this week by White House CIO Vivek Kundra of specific milestones for U.S. government agencies in their deployment of IPv6, the next generation of Internet Protocol, as it provides additional momentum behind an important evolution of the Internet. The Internet Society believes governments have key roles to play in raising awareness and encouraging the deployment of IPv6, and that government leadership can foster IPv6 deployment more generally.
Speaking on a panel chaired by US CTO Aneesh Chopra during the workshop at which the announcement was made, the Internet Society's Chief Internet Technology Officer Leslie Daigle observed that IPv6 deployment is critical to the Internet's continued success as a global platform for unprecedented innovation and development, and to the future of organizations that use the Internet.
Daigle said, "Just as any business that uses the Internet should have a strategy and a plan for deploying IPv6, the Internet Society believes that a clear plan for deploying IPv6 will help governments continue to provide effective Internet-based services for their citizens."
The announced deployment timetable extends the U.S. Government's efforts in promoting IPv6, and adds to IPv6 deployment initiatives being undertaken by other governments, such as the European Commission, Japan and Australia.
