U.S. Government Announces Timetable for IPv6 Deployment

Internet Society’s Leslie Daigle participates IPv6 workshop panel chaired by U.S. CTO Aneesh Chopra

30 September 2010–The Internet Society welcomed the announcement this week by White House CIO Vivek Kundra of specific milestones for U.S. government agencies in their deployment of IPv6, the next generation of Internet Protocol, as it provides additional momentum behind an important evolution of the Internet. The Internet Society believes governments have key roles to play in raising awareness and encouraging the deployment of IPv6, and that government leadership can foster IPv6 deployment more generally.

Speaking on a panel chaired by US CTO Aneesh Chopra during the workshop at which the announcement was made, the Internet Society’s Chief Internet Technology Officer Leslie Daigle observed that IPv6 deployment is critical to the Internet’s continued success as a global platform for unprecedented innovation and development, and to the future of organizations that use the Internet.

Daigle said, “Just as any business that uses the Internet should have a strategy and a plan for deploying IPv6, the Internet Society believes that a clear plan for deploying IPv6 will help governments continue to provide effective Internet-based services for their citizens.”

The announced deployment timetable extends the U.S. Government’s efforts in promoting IPv6, and adds to IPv6 deployment initiatives being undertaken by other governments, such as the European Commission, Japan and Australia.

Internet Society Urges Action to Safeguard Internet Future

29 September 2010, LONDON – The Internet Society urged Internet users around the world to become active participants in the effort to guarantee that the Internet remains an open and transparent platform for communication and innovation.

At its INET conference on the impact of the Internet revolution on business in London today, the Internet Society warned all users that they would ignore future Internet opportunities, threats and challenges at their peril. To illustrate the potential for a future Internet that is very different than the one we use today, Internet Society launched *four scenarios that highlight contrasting paths along which the Internet could develop based on economic, political and social forces emerging today.

Of the four Internet scenarios, the Internet Society advocates The Common Pool, in which the Internet continues to be built on open technologies and processes, fostering permission-less innovation, economic growth, and social development.

The conference has heard EU Digital Agenda Commissioner Neelie Kroes endorse this approach with a resounding **message that fast, cheap, open Internet access is crucial for all business and other users. “The Internet is increasingly a cornerstone for business and communication around the world today. We often regard it as a utility, but we would be foolhardy to take its unique and invaluable characteristics for granted,” said Frederic Donck, director of the Internet Society’s European Regional Bureau.

The Internet Society said it is up to users to act now to ensure that the future development of the Internet takes a direction that is in the best interests of everyone.

“We all have to engage urgently as big decisions are currently being made on the future of the Internet that will have a direct impact on our business and social lives. Complacency over such vital issues as net neutrality, security, privacy and IPv6 is simply not an option,” Donck said.

To help achieve these goals, the Internet Society’s INET meeting in London, entitled: “Opportunities, threats and challenges to your business – ignore it at your peril” will walk participants through what they can do to ensure that the Internet’s future meets its potential. Sessions include a panel debate, chaired by leading futurologist James Bellini, on “What conditions need to be met for the future growth of the Internet?” Additional sessions will address specific issues that are critical to the continued growth of the Internet, including the next generation Internet protocol IPv6, Internet Security Issues and online identity and network confidence.

Internet Society Asia Bureau Participates in WEF Meeting

Rajnesh Singh, Internet Society’s Regional Bureau Manager for Asia, was invited to participate in the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting of New Champions 2010 in Tianjin, China. Referred to as the “Summer Davos”, the meeting is the foremost global business gathering in Asia and was introduced in 2007. The annual meeting is held in close collaboration with the People’s Republic of China and with the personal support of Premier Wen Jiabao.

The meeting theme “Driving Growth through Sustainability” explored issues fundamental for global, national and business competitiveness, under four main pillars:

• Improving Competitiveness through Science and Technology
• Creating New Value from Business Models and for Future Markets
• Facilitating Economic and Social Change
• Designing Effective Global, Industry and Regional Solutions

Singh was a panelist in a session titled “Maximising Cloud Computing” where he provided commentary on some current issues with cloud computing and suggested some approaches which could help build user confidence in the cloud. Singh was also part of a private session on ICT and Eco-sustainability.

The Meeting brought together over 1,500 industry, government and thought leaders from around 90 countries and provided a good opportunity to profile the Internet Society and its works across a range of stakeholders.

Community Grants Programme Project Showcase: IPv6 Crawler

Contributed by: Olivier Crepin-Leblond

ISOC England was awarded a Community Grants Programme award in November 2009, for the design and implementation of an “IPv6 crawler,” a computer and its software that would crawl through the DNS at pre-set intervals in order to detect, for example, IPv6 DNS servers and IPv6 compliant Web servers, SMTP mailers, and NTP servers. The search for project partners led to a link-up with Nile University (Egypt) where professors and their research assistants got to grips with IPv6, and started the task of writing the software required in the project, as part of their experience. In the meantime, the London team of partners built and installed two computers and a router at Telehouse East, one of the UK’s most connected facilities. One computer was set-up as a crawler, and one as a Web server and information storage, both connected to the Internet backbone via Dual Stack IPv4/IPv6.

The list of domains tested consisted initially of the world’s 1 million most popular Web sites, as referenced by alexa.com. After a cleaning up process, about 980 000 domains supported by nearly 5.6 million hosts were tested.

The results showed how little dual stack IPv4/IPv6 was supported by major Web sites. Without content, it is no wonder that the current volume of IPv6 traffic on the Internet is so low! The results were saved in text files and SQL databases were created for easy interrogation. The Web site found on: http://www.ipv6matrix.org/ is an example of a front end which interrogates those databases, and displays results using the Google Charts APIs. Ultimately, we plan to document the SQL database structure, so as to allow for other projects to retrieve data directly from the databases.

Currently, a full scan of all TLDs in the database takes just over a month, and results are stored for future analysis. It is hoped that a growth trend of IPv6 will be seen in a few months. In the long term, the data collected will enable researchers to find out exactly how major new technologies, such as the migration to IPv6, spread on the Internet, and will answer the questions relating to finding the early and late adopters of new technology.

In the short term, the maps show a snapshot of real world IPv6 penetration data at a glance.

At this early alpha (or beta) stage, we would look forward to any feedback regarding the data we collect, and for any bugs to be pointed out for the Team to resolve. On the question of accuracy of results, we have found that results are less accurate in TLD sample sizes under 900 domains. Larger TLD sample sizes increase accuracy. We therefore appeal to any Registry whose zone data sample size is less than 1000 domains to contact us, should they wish to provide a wider sample of input domains for the zone they are responsible for.

Experiential Component added to Internet Society’s Next Generation Leader Programme

Two NGL alumni to attend OECD Technology Foresight Forum in Paris to discuss Smart ICTs and Green Growth

The Internet Society is expanding its Next Generation Leaders (NGL) programme to include a pilot fellowship to the forthcoming Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Technology Foresight Forum. Two NGL alumni, Vinayak Hegde and Rafid Fatani, have been selected to participate.

The Internet Society’s Next Generation Leaders programme blends coursework, practical experience and mentorship to help prepare young professionals from around the world to become the next generation of Internet technology, policy, and business leaders. New components are added as opportunities present themselves not only to benefit the participating individuals but also to bring people with diverse backgrounds and perspectives to the discussions.

The annual OECD event brings together policymakers from member and non-member governments, business, civil society, and the Internet technical community to discuss and identify the opportunities and challenges that technical developments present to the Internet Economy. The Foresight forums are designed to enable constructive dialogue between these key stakeholders on key Internet issues that have previously included RFID, Next Generation Networks, Participative Web, Smart ICT and Cloud computing.

“The Internet with its global communications networks and richness of data enables entirely new ways of addressing environmental challenges. Individuals and organizations are increasingly using innovative ICT applications for greater sustainability. But some issues remain to be addressed, e.g. relating to co-ordination between ICT and environmental policy communities, and will be addressed at this OECD Forum”, says Arthur Mickoleit, author of the new OECD report “Greener and Smarter. ICTs, the environment and climate change”.

As the coordinator of the Internet Technical Advisory Committee (ITAC) to the OECD, the Internet Society has participated in past editions of the OECD Foresight Forum.

The 2010 OECD Foresight Forum will focus on Smart ICTs and Green Growth and will be held in Paris on 29 September. As this is a pilot fellowship, the Internet Society invited participants of its other NGL components to apply. The two successful applications were submitted by:

• Vinayak Hegde (India): Currently working as a Lead Architect at Inmobi, a leading mobile Ad network, Hegde works on designing multi-datacenter networks, large-scale data-processing platforms and high-performance ad servers. Prior to Inmobi, he built network performance measurement tools at Akamai. His fields of expertise are large-scale networks, large-scale data processing and programming languages.

• Rafid Fatani (Saudia Arabia/UK): Fatani has been involved in the IT industry in a variety of roles since 1991. He is the founder and director of SASIconsult – Saudi Arabian Strategic Internet Consultancy, a leading Saudi ICT consultancy that offers an innovative portfolio of Internet related research and services. As well as being involved in the industry through the company, Fatani is in the final stages of his interdisciplinary PhD at the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom, looking at Global Internet governance and its implications on state actor policy formation.

The NGL programme is sponsored by organizations including: Nominet Trust and the Association Française pour le Nommage Internet en Coopération (AFNIC) and the European Commission.

Chapter Update: Australia

Contributed by: Holly Raiche

A final reminder for our IPv6 Summit in Melbourne on October 18-19, which will be preceded by an IPv6 workshop on 17 October. This year the
Summit “IPv6? You’re Standing In it” focusses on the real life experiences of implementing IPv6 nationally and internationally. See http://www.ipv6.org.au/summit.

We also held a meeting of members to decide on this year’s policy priorities which are:

• NBN and development of the Internet
• Online security and social responsibility
• Open Internet (Net neutrality, open standards, no misrepresentation of
  walled gardens)
• Privacy and digital identity
• Transition to IPv6 and Any to any connectivity (any device to any device, no NATs, helping corporates understand that firewalls can keep
  the corporate network safe even though the internal addresses are globally addressable under IPv6)
• new gTLDs and associated issues

The Internet Society Australia Chapter was very pleased to participate in this year’s PacINET, the premier Internet conference for South Pacific nations. President Tony Hill participated in many of the sessions, including IPv6 training and strategic discussions about the Internet Society in the Pacific. On behalf of the IPv6 Forum he chaired a full day workshop on recent international developments in IPv6. We also continue participation in the Safer Internet Group. With the probable demise of the Government’s filtering policy (now that we have a minority Government with both the independent parties and opposition opposing the policy), the Group is changing focus towards education strategies for a safer Internet.

La experiencia de INET Montevideo

El pasado 2 de Julio de 2010, tuvo lugar en Montevideo el evento INET de la Internet Society, organizado por el Capítulo ISOC Uruguay, en el que participaron unas 150 personas procedentes del sector privado, público, académico, etc. Entre ellas contamos tanto con participantes como disertantes de relevancia en el ámbito nacional e internacional.

Para nuestro incipiente Capítulo ISOC Uruguay, este evento significó la presentación del capítulo y al mismo tiempo su primer actividad de relevancia. La planificación del mismo insumió numerosas y largas horas de reuniones, definiciones, consultas y decisiones que hubiese sido imposible desarrollar sin la ayuda de muchos miembros del Capítulo, organizaciones, empresas y el apoyo de ISOC y en particular de la Gerente de Eventos de ISOC, del Director de la Oficina Regional para América Latina de ISOC y del Presidente del Directorio de ISOC (Sra. Carmen Dell’Erba, Sr. Sebastián Bellagamba y Sr. Raúl Echeberría respectivamente).

Presentó un desafío adicional e inesperado, cuando finalmente la fecha fijada (e inmodificable) para el evento coincide con el partido de fútbol entre las selecciones de Uruguay y Ghana que definió el pasaje a la semifinal de la Copa del Mundo Sudáfrica 2010.

Las actividades se desarrollaron en el hotel Sheraton Montevideo, en una jornada a la que no le faltó nada. Comenzamos a la hora 9:00 con una sala colmada de público, el cual estuvo muy atento y participativo durante todo el evento. El miso culminó con un almuerzo mientras disfrutábamos (algunos sufrimos un poco), en dos pantallas gigantes, del emblemático e increíble partido por los cuartos de final de la Copa del Mundo.

La agenda del mismo fue orientada a todo público, sin entrar en aspectos muy técnicos y abordando temas y problemática incipiente y de actualidad para en país y la región en lo relativo a Internet y alineados con objetivos de ISOC. Así, los temas tratados fueron: Bienvenida y Presentación del Capítulo; El Ecosistema de Gestión de Internet; Gobernanza en Internet, principales debates en el marco del Foro de Gobernanza en Internet (IGF); Gobernanza en Internet, metas e indicadores; Neutralidad de la Red; Nuevo Marco Jurídico para la Sociedad de la Información; Aspectos de Seguridad en Internet; y el cierre del evento analizando ¿Hacia donde vamos? con el Capítulo Uruguay.

Mis felicitaciones y agradecimiento a los miembros del Directorio del Capítulo y en general a todos los miembros del capítulo, personalidades invitadas, organizaciones, empresas privadas, entidades gubernamentales y organismos e individuos en general que brindaron su apoyo, tiempo y dedicación para hacer posible este evento en un marco de camaradería y fraternidad, tratando temas tan relevantes como los que formaron parte de la agenda.

Saludando calurosamente a todos y esperando continuar generando entre todos, instancias de participación y proyectos, en este Capítulo Uruguay de ISOC, alineados con los ideales y principios generales de ISOC.
