3. Introduction IPv6 infrastructure deployment Resolution 180 of the Plenipotentiary Conference (Guadalajara, 2010), on facilitating the transition from IPv4 to IPv6. RESOLUTION 101 (Rev. Guadalajara, 2010) Internet Protocol-based networks RESOLUTION 63 (Hyderabad, 2010): IP address allocation and encouraging the deployment of IPv6 in the developing countries 3

4. Resolution 64 of the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (Johannesburg, 2008), which encourages the deployment of IPv6; Opinion 5 of the World Telecommunication Policy Forum (Lisbon, 2009), on capacity building in support of the adoption of IPv6; Invites the ITU to trust and security 1. accelerate activities associated with WTSA-08 Resolution 64 as well as consider the questions of providing trust and security in the use of IPv6 Etc… 4

9. ITU IPv6 Group Council 2009 approved the recommendation that the Director of TSB, in close collaboration with the Director of BDT, convenes a group open to the membership of ITU-T and ITU-D to conduct further activities toward the implementation  The Group on IPv6 is open to all ITU Member States, and Sector Members of ITU-T and ITU-D.  Chairman: Mr. Mohammed Al Khamis (United Arab Emirates)  To draft a global policy proposal for the reservation of a large IPv6 block, taking into consideration the future needs of developing countries, as outlined in paragraph 23 of C09/29.  To further study possible methodologies and related implementation mechanisms to ensure ‘equitable access’ to IPv6 resource by countries.  To further study the possibility for ITU to become another Internet Registry, and propose policies and procedures for ITU to manage a reserved IPv6 block.  To further study the feasibility and advisability of implementing the CIR model for those countries who would request national allocations.  To assist in the implementation of the project called for by Resolution 64, taking into account the needs at regional and national level in terms of capacity building and allocation policies.  To report to ITU Council 9

10. Possibility: ITU to become another Internet Registry 10

11. Conclusions  IPv6 has been developped as an evolution of IPv4 to enable IPv6 to provide many new features while building on the foundational concepts that made IPv4 so successful.  IPv6 Allocation: Many options are possible. E.g The Proposed Country based Internet Registries (CIR) Model: IPv6 Address allocation system by ITU to CIRs  Guidelines and best practices would be useful for Developing Countries for the IPv6 Implementation in Mobile and Fixed Networks taking into consideration, the Security and QoS issues. 11

12.  IPv6 security can be improved compared to IPv4 by the mandatory implementation of IPsec, adding the security measures at the IP layer  As IPv6 security is actively discussed and new issues appear, it is necessary to keep your information updated 12
