The IPv6 Forum is a world-wide consortium of worldwide leading Internet vendors, Industry Subject Matter Experts, Research & Education Networks, with a clear mission to advocate IPv6 by dramatically improving technology, market, and deployment user and industry awareness of IPv6, creating a quality and secure new Generation Internet and allowing world-wide equitable access to knowledge and technology, embracing a moral responsibility to the world.
To this end the IPv6 FORUM has
- established an open, international FORUM of IPv6 expertise
- shared IPv6 knowledge and experience among members
- promoted new IPv6-based applications and global solutions
- promoted interoperable implementations of Ipv6 standards
- co-operated to achieve end-to-end quality of service
- resolved issues that create barriers to IPv6 deployment
The Internet
Engineering Task Force has sole authority for IPv6 protocol standards.
The IPv6 Forum reserves the right to develop IPv6 Deployment Guides to
foster the operational use of IPv6.
The IPv6 Forum is a non-profit organisation registered in Luxembourg
since July 17, 1999. The admin secretariat is run by the audit company
Horsburgh based in Luxembourg.
The IPv6 Forum officers are Latif Ladid (president), Patrick Cocquet (Vice President) and Jim Bound (CTO).
We would like to take this opportunity to urge your organization
to sign up to become Members of the IPv6 Forum. Forum membership application information as well as the Benefits
of Membership can be found under Membership Benefits section.
If we band together to stimulate the deployment and sales of IPv6 solutions, then everyone can benefit. As of September 1999, just before the IPv6 World
Summit in Paris, the IPv6 FORUM had 60 Members. As of November 2004, the membership
has grown over 175.
In case you are not directly involved in such promotion issues,
we would be grateful to receive contact names for people in your
organisation who can make the membership decision to bring you on board.
The IPv6 Forum welcomes every helping hand, and we
invite you to join us. Your valuable addition to our membership
would be another important
step towards the success of this noble mission.
Best Regards,
Latif LADID
