Internet Evangelist promotes IPv6 to the Web World 


 Tokyo-Luxembourg-Boston – June 8, 2009 – The IPv6 Forum and its sub-organization, the 
IPv6 Ready Logo Committee, today announced the introduction of a new IPv6 Enabled Logo 
Program aimed at testing and validating Web sites (WWW) for IPv6 readiness and 
adoption.

 “This program is a good step in the right direction. IPv6 needs to be integrated in 
all web sites” states Dr. Vint Cerf, Internet Evangelist, Google & Honorary Chair, 
IPv6 Forum

The IPv6 Forum IPv6 Ready Logo program has clearly demonstrated the widespread support 
of IPv6 in products. The impressive list of vendors indicates the number of potential 
IPv6 users ready to use IPv6 and represents a real incentive for web site owners to 
enable IPv6 access for their customers.

 The IPv6 Forum has been tracking the adoption of IPv6 by Web sites and recognized the 
need for a quality assurance logo program for the Web world. The creation of the new 
logo program will support IPv6 deployment on Web sites with the goal of sustaining 
quality IPv6 solutions. 

“The launch of the IPv6 Enabled WWW Logo Program is another strategic milestone that 
signals good integration of IPv6 for Web sites must be sustained to build the new 
Internet infrastructure” states Latif Ladid, IPv6 Forum President.

“ The Web was the first killer app of the IPv4 Internet and no doubt it will be one of 
them for the IPv6 Internet”  states Yanick Pouffary, NAv6TF Technology Director, IPv6 
Forum Fellow and advisor to the IPv6 ready Logo program.

“We recognize the fact that the market needs the IPv6 Enabled WWW Logo to accelerate 
the introduction of IPv6 technology,” states Hiroshi Esaki, Chairman of the IPv6 Logo 
Committee, Executive Director of IPv6 Promotion Council Japan and Board member of the 
WIDE Project.  

Liu Dong, Chair China IPv6 Council, commented, “We deployed this IPv6 logo program to 
foster deployment of IPv6 for the Web world and we are looking forward to a positive 
response.”
