[council] Global Policy for IPv6 - background report
For the information of Council members: To: ICANN SO and AC chairs The development of Global Internet Number Resource Policies is the subject of an MoU between ASO/NRO and ICANN. There are also specific ICANN Board Procedures, adopted by the Board on 15 July 2005 at the ICANN meeting in Luxemburg, for handling global policy proposals in this context. These Board procedures also state that the Board can request ICANN staff to undertake an "early awareness" tracking of proposals for global policies under development in the addressing community. At its meeting on 16 August 2005, the Board resolved to request such tracking of the development of a global policy proposal for allocation of IPv6 address space, already well advanced in the Regional Internet Registries, RIRs. Attached is a first background report with a status overview in table format, compiled in response to this request. It will be timely updated as developments proceed, for information to ICANN entities and the wider community. This report will also be posted on the ICANN web site shortly and I will send you a link to the web posting a.s.a.p. FYI and for notification to your membership.
