Successful World IPv6 Day Demonstrates Global Readiness for IPv6
Top websites serving billions of users demonstrate progress towards largest transition in Internet's history
Top websites and Internet service providers around the world, including Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Akamai, and Limelight Networks, joined together with more than 1000 other participating websites in World IPv6 Day for a successful global-scale trial of the new Internet Protocol, IPv6. By providing a coordinated 24-hour "test flight", the event helped demonstrate that major websites around the world are well-positioned for the move to a global IPv6-enabled Internet, enabling its continued exponential growth.
During World IPv6 Day organized by the Internet Society, nearly 400 participating organizations enabled IPv6 on their main services for 24 hours on 8 June. With IPv4 addresses running out this year, the industry must act quickly to accelerate full IPv6 adoption or risk increased costs and limited functionality online for Internet users everywhere. World IPv6 Day participants came together to help motivate organizations across the industry -- €“Internet service providers, hardware manufacturers, operating system vendors and other web companies -- €“to prepare their services for the transition.
A key goal of World IPv6 Day was to expose potential issues with real-world IPv6 use under controlled conditions. Given the diversity of technology that powers the Internet, the global nature of the trial was crucial to identify unforeseen problems. The vast majority of users were able to access services as usual, but in rare cases, users experienced impaired access to participating websites during the trial.

World IPv6 Day was an intense program for the ISOC Australia Chapter, who took on the role of co-ordination for Australia for the day. A number of member organisations joined with others to deliver services to those organisations and individuals wanting to try IPv6 for the first time.
On the day itself, the ISOC Australia Chapter, with some of its key supporters, StudentNet and IPv6Now, arranged for the next generation of Internet users to be part of the world wide trial. By IPv6 enabling the computer labs of two schools, one city and one rural, a demonstration of the fitness of IPv6 was made by some fifty students who were taught networking commands, asked to check a list of IPv6 enabled web sites, and check on the broader IPv6 and IPv4 Internet. Although the testing was successful, and nothing went wrong at all, one of the children called it his "best school day ever".
It was also the day of the highest media activity in the history of the Chapter, with many interviews given throughout and around the day. We are hoping that with this increase in profile for both ISOC and IPv6, the ISOC Australia Chapter will further increase its engagement in the Australian Internet industry and regulatory space, and we will also see a greater take up of IPv6 in Australia.

Participation réussie du Chapitre du Congo de l'Internet Society au DSRP2 du Congo-Brazzaville
Depuis trois mois le Chapitre congolais de l'Internet Society en tant que membre de la société civile a été invité par le Ministère de l'Economie, du Plan et de l'Aménagement du territoire de la République du Congo, à participer à l'élaboration d'un projet de développement global des 5 prochaines années (DSRP 2).
Le Congo a obtenu des institutions de Bretton Woods sa remise de la dette internationale au terme d'un programme d'ajustement structurel concocté avec ces grandes institutions de la finance mondiale. Faisant donc suite à ce point d'achèvement qui a annulé la quasi-totalité de sa dette, le Congo et ses partenaires ont convenu de mettre sur pied un deuxième plan stratégique communément appelé Document de Stratégie de Réduction de la Pauvreté (DSRP).
Le Chapitre du Congo de l'Internet Society a donc été représenté par son coordonnateur Jean Philémon KISSANGOU, son responsable des projets Wilfrid NGOYI NZAMBA et un membre en la personne de Serge-Parfait GOMA. Les deux premiers membres ont appartenu au même groupe de travail, à savoir le sous-groupe Poste, Télécommunications et TIC. Monsieur Kissangou était le rapporteur et Monsieur Ngoyi son adjoint ; tandis que Serge-Parfait GOMA appartenait au sous-groupe Infrastructures. Les travaux se sont étalés sur trois mois et la contribution du Chapitre du Congo de l'Internet Society a été des mieux appréciée. Le document final du sous-groupe a été officiellement remis au Ministre le 9 juin 2011. Le Chapitre compte donc jouer un rÃŽle important dans le suivi et l'accompagnement de cette initiative qui, si elle est mise en place tel qu'élaborée, résorbera assurément les retards que nous connaissons sur le plan numérique.
Création de l'Association Congolaise de Nommage Internet en Coopération (ACNIC)
Le Congo est l'un des rares pays dont le ccTLD (.cg) est géré de l'extérieur et par un non-congolais. Cette situation est déplorable car le .cg demeure à ce jour l'un des ccTLD les plus chers et difficilement accessible par la communauté nationale.
Plusieurs tentatives de récupération et de redélégation ont échoué faute de consensus nécessaire à ces opérations. Dans le cadre de ses activités de 2010, Le Chapitre du Congo de l'Internet Society, sur financement de l'ICANN, L'Internet Society, le Centre Africain de Complémentarité Scolaire, Universitaire et de Promotion (CACSUP) et l' Ecole Communautaire de l'Enseignement Supérieur (ECES-ONLINE) et le soutien de la DiploFoundation (www.diplomacy.edu), avait dans la perspective du Forum sur la Gouvernance de l'Internet de l'Afrique Centrale (www.fgiac.org) fait de la réappropriation du domaine national du Congo une des priorités figurant sur les recommandations du rapport final des travaux qui durèrent deux jours:
http://www.fgiac.org/Rapport%20finale%20FGIAC-2010.pdf
En date du 9 juin 2011, le Chapitre du Congo de l'Internet Society et ses partenaires locaux, notamment l'Agence de la Régulation des Postes et des Communications Electroniques (ARPCE) ont procédé au lancement officiel de l'ACNIC qui est la structure qui se propose de rapatrier et gérer le domaine national. La mise en place du conseil D'administration de l'ACNIC a été reporté au 23 juin et l'ISOC compte bien y occupé une place de membre afin de continuer à suivre ce dossier très sensible et important pour l'avenir du numérique au Congo:

The workshop ran from the 11th – 13th of April 2011 in French to train network engineers and systems administrators on requesting and managing IP resources from AfriNIC, the Regional Registry for Internet Number Resources for Africa, but also to train them on how to deploy IPv6 on their networks.
The workshop was attended by twenty one (21) network engineers and systems administrators from Togo and Benin drawn mostly from the telecommunications and Internet service organizations as well as a few from government agencies and the university.
During the workshop participants learned the following:
+ Planning for, requesting and managing IP number resources.
+ The limitations of NAT as a sustainable solution to IPv6 address exhaustion.
+ Configuration of a basic IPv6 network (host configuration, intra domain routing and transition techniques)

Depuis trois mois le Chapitre congolais de l'Internet Society en tant que membre de la société civile a été invité par le Ministère de l'Economie, du Plan et de l'Aménagement du territoire de la République du Congo, à participer à l'élaboration d'un projet de développement global des 5 prochaines années (DSRP 2).
Le Congo a obtenu des institutions de Bretton Woods sa remise de la dette internationale au terme d'un programme d'ajustement structurel concocté avec ces grandes institutions de la finance mondiale. Faisant donc suite à ce point d'achèvement qui a annulé la quasi-totalité de sa dette, le Congo et ses partenaires ont convenu de mettre sur pied un deuxième plan stratégique communément appelé Document de Stratégie de Réduction de la Pauvreté (DSRP).
Le Chapitre du Congo de l'Internet Society a donc été représenté par son coordonnateur Jean Philémon KISSANGOU, son responsable des projets Wilfrid NGOYI NZAMBA et un membre en la personne de Serge-Parfait GOMA. Les deux premiers membres ont appartenu au même groupe de travail, à savoir le sous-groupe Poste, Télécommunications et TIC. Monsieur Kissangou était le rapporteur et Monsieur Ngoyi son adjoint ; tandis que Serge-Parfait GOMA appartenait au sous-groupe Infrastructures. Les travaux se sont étalés sur trois mois et la contribution du Chapitre du Congo de l'Internet Society a été des mieux appréciée. Le document final du sous-groupe a été officiellement remis au Ministre le 9 juin 2011. Le Chapitre compte donc jouer un rÃŽle important dans le suivi et l'accompagnement de cette initiative qui, si elle est mise en place tel qu'élaborée, résorbera assurément les retards que nous connaissons sur le plan numérique.
Création de l'Association Congolaise de Nommage Internet en Coopération (ACNIC)
Le Congo est l'un des rares pays dont le ccTLD (.cg) est géré de l'extérieur et par un non-congolais. Cette situation est déplorable car le .cg demeure à ce jour l'un des ccTLD les plus chers et difficilement accessible par la communauté nationale.
Plusieurs tentatives de récupération et de redélégation ont échoué faute de consensus nécessaire à ces opérations. Dans le cadre de ses activités de 2010, Le Chapitre du Congo de l'Internet Society, sur financement de l'ICANN, L'Internet Society, le Centre Africain de Complémentarité Scolaire, Universitaire et de Promotion (CACSUP) et l' Ecole Communautaire de l'Enseignement Supérieur (ECES-ONLINE) et le soutien de la DiploFoundation (www.diplomacy.edu), avait dans la perspective du Forum sur la Gouvernance de l'Internet de l'Afrique Centrale (www.fgiac.org) fait de la réappropriation du domaine national du Congo une des priorités figurant sur les recommandations du rapport final des travaux qui durèrent deux jours:

En date du 9 juin 2011, le Chapitre du Congo de l'Internet Society et ses partenaires locaux, notamment l'Agence de la Régulation des Postes et des Communications Electroniques (ARPCE) ont procédé au lancement officiel de l'ACNIC qui est la structure qui se propose de rapatrier et gérer le domaine national. La mise en place du conseil D'administration de l'ACNIC a été reporté au 23 juin et l'ISOC compte bien y occupé une place de membre afin de continuer à suivre ce dossier très sensible et important pour l'avenir du numérique au Congo:

«Ateliers Gestion des Ressources Internet et les fondamentaux de IPV6»
With the last five IPv4 address blocks allocated to the Regional Internet Registries on February 3 2011; the local Chapter of the Internet Society in Togo has hosted a three (3) day training AfriNIC workshop on Internet Resources Management and IPv6. The workshop ran from the 11th – 13th of April 2011 in French to train network engineers and systems administrators on requesting and managing IP resources from AfriNIC, the Regional Registry for Internet Number Resources for Africa, but also to train them on how to deploy IPv6 on their networks.
The workshop was attended by twenty one (21) network engineers and systems administrators from Togo and Benin drawn mostly from the telecommunications and Internet service organizations as well as a few from government agencies and the university.
During the workshop participants learned the following:
+ Planning for, requesting and managing IP number resources.
+ The limitations of NAT as a sustainable solution to IPv6 address exhaustion.
+ Configuration of a basic IPv6 network (host configuration, intra domain routing and transition techniques)
