The Internet Society is organizing a briefing panel on Tuesday, 31 July, from 11:45am to 12:45pm, at IETF 84 in Vancouver.

	World IPv6:  Launched!

On June 6, 2012, more than 50 access providers and thousands of websites around the globe joined together in establishing IPv6 as the "new normal" for the Internet.  Participating content providers turned on IPv6 on their main sites -- for good.  Participating access providers are offering IPv6 by default to their customers, and have at least 1% of their traffic to major websites over IPv6. 

At a high level, it is clear that this represents a significant, concrete step forward in the deployment of operational IPv6 in the Internet. Uptake of IPv6 is not evenly distributed across all access networks for a variety of reasons and there is clearly still much work to do.  This panel will share more specific numbers and perspectives outlining the impact of World IPv6 Launch.

Due to high demand at previous Internet Society panel events and limited space, we are providing you with advance information about registration.  Online registration will open in two time blocks to account for the broad range of home timezones of IETF participants.  Half of the available seats will be open for registration at 09:00 UTC on Monday, 16 July, and the other half will be made available at 21:00 UTC.  Look for a registration form link at the webpage above at these times.

For those unable to attend, we plan to provide a live (and archived) audiocast, information on which will also be available at the above webpage.
