What Should I Do Now?
Maria Häll, Deputy Director of the Division for Information Technology Policy, Ministry of Enterprise, Energy and Communications, Swedish Government
Government organisations cannot act alone on IPv6. They need to work together with the technical community and the private sector. They need to use the power they hold has major procurers of technology and push vendors to develop IPv6 compatible hardware and software.
Additionally, government organisations need to adopt an active role in the policy making processes that impact on the infrastructure of the Internet. The Internet community, including the RIPE NCC, ICANN, ISOC and the NRO actively encourage government organisations to join policy discussions.
By working together in a concerted effort with commercial organisations and the Internet community to drive adoption of IPv6, we can ensure that everyone will be able to benefit from the growth of the digital economy now and beyond 2011.
