[ncc-announce] World IPv6 Launch: RIPE NCC Activities

[Apologies for duplicate emails]


Dear Colleagues,

World IPv6 Launch takes place today, 6 June 2012, marking a key 
milestone in the development of the Internet. Major Internet service 
providers (ISPs), manufacturers and content providers around the world 
are coming together to permanently enable IPv6 for their products and 
services.

RIPE NCC is heavily involved in both the local and global events 
surrounding the Launch.


Measurements
-------------
We will monitor and analyse many of the participating websites from a 
number of vantage points before, during and after the Launch:

Local Event
-----------
We've joined forces with several Dutch organisations to organise the 
World IPv6 Launch NL event at Science Park Amsterdam. The local 
technical community and future Internet leaders are attending the RIPE 
NCC's IPv6 tutorial, various IPv6-related presentations, hands-on 
workshops and plenary sessions. We'll be tracking the global Launch with 
live statistics throughout the day and Daniel Karrenberg, Chief 
Scientist, will give the keynote speech:
