History of IPv6 Distribution

During the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) process, the Director of the ITU-TSB published a memorandum, “ITU and Internet Governance” for public comment.

A proposal to create a new IPv6 address space distribution process, based solely on national authorities, was included in this memorandum. As this proposal could have a serious impact on Internet operators and the global Internet community, the NRO issued a response to this memorandum detailing the flaws of the proposal and the negative impact it would have on Internet operations:

• Summary of NRO Response to ITU Comments on the Management of Internet Protocol (IP) Addresses
• NRO Response to ITU Comments on the Management of Internet Protocol (IP) Addresses

The original ITU memorandum is available here.

An updated version of this document is available here.
