[Chapter-delegates] [Ecc-council] ISOC Belgium promotes world IPv6 day

[Frederic Taes]

Dear Eric,

Firstly, thank you for the very interesting links.
I was there two days ago at the IPv6 event at the Belgian ministry of economy.
What is sure from what I've seen is that:
	- it was a success with many internet service providers present at the event, which was sold out;
	- there was a tribute to ISOC World for having organized the IPv6 day next week; all speakers noticed it (minister, DNS.BE, Belnet, European Commission,...)
	- there's a big evolution in IPv6 interest in 2011 compared to 2009, due to lack of available IPv4 addresses
	- main issue remains that dual stack approach is necessary because IPv6 is not compatible with IPv4
		=> upgrade or replace approach is not suitable; IPv6 equipment must be added, causing a financial problem without immediate added value for the business.

Now, DNS registrars and ISP must support IPv6 because they don't have the choice.
Most of them will support IPv6 only when the price and issues to support IPv4 only will be higher than the cost of the dual stack IPv4/IPv6.

Best Regards,
Frederic.

>> During 2 events in Belgium, ISOC Belgium has been promoting with success the World IPv6 day. Last week we were presenting at an event organised by Axians, company present in the Netherlands and Belgium.

>> 
>> Yesterday, 1 June, our Belgian government department Economy organised a colloquium, in collaboration with ISOC Belgium and IPv6 Belgian council. In a "full house" we had the pleasure to present the event World IPv6 day in presence of the minister of economy and telecommunication as well as more than 100 top 50 company representatives.

>> In the afternoon, at the round table meeting which we initiated end 2010, with 17 representatives of most important players in the internet world, we also had the pleasure to illustrate the importance of ISOC's activities and the role we have in the future deployment of internet policy. During this meeting we were asked to make an inventory of possible actions  or best practices or even roadmaps to help business and governments to deploy IPv6 without to much risks and make it less painful. We agreed and will take up this task of course with the help of all our colleague chapters we will start a process in the next coming days to get all information gathered in one package and make a first version available on 8 June. I hope I may count on your help to get this task accomplished successfully.
