Workshop on IPv6 - Geneva, Switzerland, 4-5 September 2008
Dear Sir/Madam,

ITU is organizing a Workshop on IPv6, to be held 4-5 September 2008, at ITU Headquarters in Geneva,
Switzerland.
The main purpose of this workshop is to raise awareness of the importance and opportunities of the
deployment of IPv6 and to answer key questions related to international public policy issues on the
migration from IPv4 to IPv6, with emphasis on the economic aspects of IP address allocation, as well as
identify future requirements for ITU’s related work, including standardization, technical and capacity
building assistance to developing countries.
In line with the activities undertaken by ITU-T Study Group 2 and Study Group 3, the workshop will
specifically address the questions raised in Study Group 3 - Contribution 30 and its addendum.
The workshop may bring together leading specialists in the field from government officials, regulators,
and policy-makers, to key players in the management of IP addresses, Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
and private sector representatives.
Participation is open to ITU Member States, Sector Members and Associates and to any relevant
international, regional or national organizations who wish to contribute to the work.
Participation in the workshop is free of charge.
In order to maximize the participation from developing countries, fellowships granted from eligible
countries to participants of ITU-D Study Group meetings (9-19 September 2008) will be extended to
cover the workshop.
Detailed information, including on-line registration for the event and contributions to the work of ITU-T
Study Groups 2 and 3 are available on ITU website at:

Yours faithfully,
(Signed)
