regarding the adoption of IPv6, with the aim of creating opportunities for
collaborative efforts, and to ensure that feedback exists to enrich efforts to support
the transition to IPv6;
 to collaborate closely with the relevant international recognized partners, including
the Internet community (e.g. regional Internet registries (RIRs), the Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF) and others), in order to encourage the deployment of
IPv6 by raising awareness and through capacity building;
 to support those Member States which, in accordance with the existing allocation
policies, require assistance in the management and allocation of IPv6 resources,
pursuant to relevant resolutions;
 to continue the studies of IP address allocation, both for IPv4 addresses and for
IPv6 addresses, in cooperation with other relevant stakeholders, based on their
respective roles,

relevant study groups of the ITU Telecommunication Standardization
Sector (ITU T) and of the Telecommunication Development Sector (ITU D)
can carry out the work;
 while assisting those Member States that require support in the
management and allocation of IPv6 resources, to monitor the current
allocation mechanisms (including the equitable distribution of addresses)
for ITU Member States or Sector Members, and to identify and point out
any underlying flaws in the current allocation mechanisms;
 to communicate proposals for changes to existing policies, if identified
under the studies above, in accordance with the existing policy
development process;
 to develop statistics on progress made with the transition, based on
information that may be compiled regionally through collaboration with
regional organizations;
 to collect and disseminate best practices on coordination efforts
undertaken by governments at the national level in order to facilitate
transition to IPv6,

29.  to continue to promote specific initiatives at the national level, which foster
interaction with governmental, private and academic entities and civil society
for the purposes of the information exchange necessary for the deployment of
IPv6 in their respective countries;
 to encourage, with support from the ITU regional offices, the regional Internet
registries (RIRs) and other regional organizations in coordinating research,
dissemination and training actions with participation by governments,
industry and the academic community in order to facilitate the deployment of
IPv6 within the countries and in the region, and to coordinate initiatives
between regions to promote its deployment worldwide;
 to develop national policies to promote the technological update of systems in
order to ensure that the public services provided utilizing the IP protocol and
the communications infrastructure and relevant applications of the Member
States are compatible with IPv6;
 to encourage manufacturers to supply to the market customer premises
equipment (CPE) that supports IPv6 in addition to IPv4;
 to raise awareness among information service providers on the importance of
making their services available over IPv6

30.  During 2011-2014, the ITU carried out capacity building and direct
country assistance to countries in the Asia-Pacific region in
cooperation with APNIC, NAv6 and Ministry of ICT (Thailand).
 Under the framework of ITU Asia-Pacific Centres of Excellence, face
to face trainings were carried out in the areas of IPv6 migration
strategies (2011, 2012) and IPv6 Infrastructure Security (2013,
2014) in cooperation with partners including APNIC and Ministry
of ICT (Thailand) building skills of approximately 175 participants.
 The ITU continue to support through participation and experience
sharing in the APNIC events (e.g. APRICOT, APNIC).

which covers :
 Assessment of IPv6 readiness of their network
 Key transition technologies applicable in their
network
 The way forward and deployment strategy

32.  In area of IPv6, Online (2) and face to face (1) trainings
were also carried out in cooperation with Pusan
National University, NAv6, MICT (Thailand) training
more than 60 participants in areas of IPv6 engineering
and deployment.
 Fostering partnership with “Manipal Education
