The APNIC IPv6 Program has engaged with various governmental stakeholders since 2009 by sharing the latest IPv6 deployment status and how to move forward amid concerns as they emerge. Several governments and intergovernmental organizations have responded to our support by providing IPv6 adoption support to the Internet industries in their respective economies. Governmental support for IPv6 transition may include but is not limited the following activities:
- Mandate for IPv6 readiness in government procurement forms for ICT goods and services
- Conduct research on IPv6 readiness in the industry
- Develop policies, guidelines, and roadmaps to enable IPv6 in government and network infrastructure
- Subsidize IPv6 skilling up for industry members to support human capacity development
- Lead the industry by example in adopting IPv6
- Partnership between government and industry
- Include the necessity of IPv6 deployment in ministerial statements
Here is a list of some useful documents on IPv6 that were issued by various governments and intergovernmental organizations, as well as news articles that explore the latest status of that economy's IPv6 policies.
