Press Release
US IPv6 Council Has Been Founded___________________
Alexandria USA/Luxembourg, 06.06, 2023 - The IPv6 Forum welcomes the formation of anew IPv6 initiative with the establishment of the US IPv6 Council under the leadership of Mr.
Ralph Wallace as its Chairman.
"The US IPv6 Council will be re-initiating established key stakeholders (and opening doorsfor new ones) from government, industry and academia to further the US IPv6 roadmap
milestones with collaborative vision, for the US to continue our efforts in achieving the New
Internet world based on IPv6, moving to IPv6-Only" stated Mr. Ralph Wallace, Chairman,
US IPv6 Council
The prime objective of the US IPv6 Council and its members is to promote deployment andcoordinated uptake of the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) with support from industry,
education, research communities and government agencies enabling equitable access totechnology and knowledge.
"The US IPv6 Council has been created to extend to the US Internet community a strong
voice and representation in the new Internet world to create momentum in deploying IPv6Only and gradually sunset IPv4," stated Latif Ladid, IPv6 Forum President.
The Internet World has been using the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) for the last four
decades. Despite its tremendous success, IPv4 has exhibited signs of strain, especially in its
totally depleted IP address space and its growing security concerns. IPv6 successfully preserves
today's Internet, and adds much more, such as virtually unlimited IP address space to connect
everyone and everything, stateless auto-configuration, seamless mobility, automated network
management, end to end security and new service levels such as SRv6, to name a few examplesof opportunity.
