Eric,
The U.S. DoD has also "mandated" adoption of IPv6. Please see the link
listed below:
http://ipv6.disa.mil/docs/stenbit-ipv6-guidance-20030929.pdf
Similarly, U.S. Whitehouse Office of Management and Budget has just
recently issued guidance on the adoption of IPv6. Please see the link
listed below:

Best Regards,

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:
http://www.ipv6tf.org/news/newsroom.php?id=684
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.
Regards,
Jordi

Asunto: Madated adoption?
Based on my memory (and comments about I-D
ACTION:draft-baker-v6ops-end2end-00.txt )
Tim Chown seemed surprised that I had heard that there was a
mandated
adoption date for the UK (UK by 2008, Japan by 2010 etc - not sure
about
years for either).
Now this WG had a conversation thread a little over a year ago where
these
came up.
I was wondering if anyone knew if their (or other) countries had
announced
compliance dates for the full IPv6 conversions.
The truth is that this has dual interest to me, as we as a WG should
know
what the world (or at least individual nations) are doing or saying
about
IPv6. But this is also related to a thesis that I am working on and
I am
interested to see what is being done towards actual adoption at the
national
levels.
