IPv6 Executive Briefing

The IPv6 Executive Briefing is available in PDF here. The briefing is for non-technical board directors and senior management at organizations for which information technology is business-critical. It focuses on the implications for your business, but those in technology roles may also find it a useful resource for discussing the issues with non-technical colleagues.

IPv6 Project Planning Guide

The IPv6 Project Planning Guide is available in PDF here. This guide is for project managers and technical staff at organizations for which information technology is business-critical, and for technical consultants and suppliers to such organizations. It accompanies the publication of the “Executive Briefing on the New Version of the Internet Protocol” and its recommendation to make your organization visible to the outside world over IPv6.

Links

Many of these links are included in the IPv6 Project Planning Guide, although the list here will be more extensive as newly found resources are added. The inclusion of a link here does not represent a recommendation, endorsement or warranty for the material, its author or related services. Equally, the omission of a link to an organization or resource should not be interpreted as disparaging toward that organization or resource.
