Re: Madated adoption?
Hi,
I try to keep all this info at http://www.ipv6tf.org, but not sure if this
is as much updated as I wish.
My feeling is that only Japan has a clear "mandate" as a government decision
right now.
But there are several related documents for other governmental bodies such
as:
http://www.ipv6tf.org/meet/policy_recommendations.php
If anyone can point out some other documents, I will link them also, to have
a more complete picture. For example, I just realized that I'm missing links
to Japanese, Korean and Chinese documents, at least. I recall there is also
something from German MoD and Switzerland.
Also it could be interesting:

One of the conclusions is that most of the countries, at least in Europe,
have concrete government support, but not concrete "mandated" dates, most of
the time are suggestions and not widely publicized. Anyway, those
suggestions are already achieving results. In Spain most of the public
tenders ask for IPv6 support since already 3-4 years ago, but is not being
enabled by default by now in most cases (I believe this will change in the
next few months). This usually means that the ISPs and vendors have to
support IPv6 and clearly, is not smart to have different product lines (or
networks) for government business and other customers. For example, the
recommendation in 2001 from the Ministry of Public Administration (MAP) was
to purchase everything with IPv6 support on it, so it can be enabled when
required, also all the acquisitions done by the main Internet and
Information Society entity, as well as all the ministries that I'm aware of,
are following this.
I'm not sure a mandate is required, let's say as a "country" decision. I
mean, is enough if the government mandates its usage in their own
acquisitions. As said, this is good catalyst for the vendors decide if they
want to have two product lines, with and without IPv6 and interoperability
problems between both, or whatever.

Jordi
