Dear colleagues,
Finnish IPv6 Launch Event on 8 June in Helsinki, Finland
On Tuesday 8 June, Viestintävirasto, the Finnish telecoms regulator, hosted a seminar on the launch of IPv6 in Finland across a broad spectrum of sectors. Emile Aben and I participated in this meeting on behalf of the RIPE NCC.
This half-day meeting was the pinnacle of a project that started about two years ago with a renewal of the work programme of the national IPv6 task force. This renewal led to efforts to coordinate the deployment of IPv6, with the seminar date set as a milestone by which to achieve nationwide support for IPv6.
The project found support from all major access providers as well as hosting companies and content providers including the national broadcaster, YLE, and MTV.
We are pleased to see this strategy has paid off: the regulator estimates that approximately five million Finnish Internet connections are IPv6 enabled to date. Real-time measurements by APNIC also showed a rapid increase of IPv6 users over the preceding week: the percentage of end users observed using IPv6 quickly rose from almost nothing to 4.7%. DNA achieved the most spectacular deployment: the percentage of their customers using IPv6 skyrocketed to 16% and is still increasing.
During the seminar, various operators reported on their experiences during the deployment. They also looked forward to resolving any remaining issues and using the knowledge gained to further advance IPv6 adoption throughout the country.
More information about the initiative can be found at http://ipv6nyt.fi.

Bonjour,

Effectivement, c’est typiquement ce que nous aimerions organiser dans le G6, et notamment dans le cadre du Groupe de Travail G6 Production qui est dans les cartons mais pour lequel nous manquant hélas d’un animateur motivé et disponible. J’en profite pour mettre en copie la liste technique IPv6tech plus appropriée aux discussions techniques et la liste G6membres (via 3 mails séparés pour éviter les reply-to qui induiront un message d’erreur aux non membres) pour rappeler aux personnes présentes sur les listes publiques et privéesw qu’il est encore temps de faire acte de candidature au G6 (en tant que personne morale ou physique) et nous rejoindre pour nous aider dans nos missions. La qualité de nos actions dépendent de l’investissement volontaire de chacun.

Les personnes qui occupent des responsabilités dans le G6 ont de plus en plus de responsabilités professionnelles qui les rendent de moins en moins disponibles pour mener les actions nécessaires en France; nous avons donc besoin de personnes désireusent de prendre en charge des actions de coordination ou des tâches spécifiques. Pour cela il n’y a pas besoin d’avoir des compététences techniques sur IPv6 (mis à part peut-être pour le GT IPv6 Production).

Trois gros chantiers en ce moment qui devraient aboutir d’ici l'automne:
- un MOOC IPv6 (GT IPv6 Formation)
- cartographie IPv6 auprès des décisionnaires (GT IPv6 Promotion)
- le refonte du site (GT SI)

Nous comptons sur vous,
Thierry Ernst - Président du G6.
