Colleagues, Just flagging for those interested that the Dutch Standardisation Forum is having a consultation on IPv6. Here is the link to the consultation and relevant documents (in Dutch): https://internetconsultatie.nl/ipv6/b1 To note, comments in English are also welcomed, and the deadline is on 4 October 2024. In a nutshell, the Standardisation Forum, which is an initiative supported by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Ministry of Interior -- advising on the use of ICT standards and maintaining a list of ICT standards that are either mandatory or recommended for the public sector -- is currently assessing the scope of application of the 'apply or explain' list covering IPv6 and whether additional clarification is needed. In this context, a document gathering recommendations from an expert group has been published and is available on the webpage of the consultation. The current scope is: *IPv6 and IPv4 should be applied in combination (‘dual stack’) to communication between applications in (a) network(s).* The expert group recommends changing the scope of application as follows: “*IPv6 should be applied to digital services, such as websites and e-mail servers. In addition, end-user devices should be able to reach websites, applications and other digital services on the Internet via IPv6. If necessary, it is permitted to additionally apply IPv4 (dual stack).*” It also recommends changing the name (caption) on the list from “IPv6 and IPv4” to “IPv6”. Let us know if you have any questions or comments. Best wishes Romain -- Romain Bosc Sr Public Policy & Governance Officer RIPE NCC E: rbosc@ripe.net
