组织的任务是通过快速提高IPv6的技术水平，市场影响和用户产业的布署意识来推动IPv6的发展，创建一个高质量，高安全新一代互联网，并推动世界知识技术的分享和精神建设。

The IPv6 Forum is a world-wide consortium of worldwide leading Internet vendors, Industry Subject Matter Experts, Research & Education Networks, with a clear mission to advocate IPv6 by dramatically improving technology, market, and deployment user and industry awareness of IPv6, creating a quality and secure new Generation Internet and allowing world-wide equitable access to knowledge and technology, embracing a moral responsibility to the world.

To this end the IPv6 FORUM has:

      established an open, international FORUM of IPv6 expertise

      shared IPv6 knowledge and experience among members

      promoted new IPv6-based applications and global solutions

      promoted interoperable implementations of Ipv6 standards

      co-operated to achieve end-to-end quality of service

      resolved issues that create barriers to IPv6 deployment

The Internet Engineering Task Force has sole authority for IPv6 protocol standards. The IPv6 Forum reserves the right to develop IPv6 Deployment Guides to foster the operational use of IPv6.

The IPv6 Forum is a non-profit organisation registered in Luxembourg since July 17, 1999. The admin secretariat is run by the audit company Horsburgh based in Luxembourg.

The IPv6 Forum officers are Latif Ladid (president), Patrick Cocquet (Vice President) and Jim Bound (CTO).

We would like to take this opportunity to urge your organization to sign up to become Members of the IPv6 Forum. Forum membership application information as well as the Benefits of Membership can be found under Membership Benefits section. If we band together to stimulate the deployment and sales of IPv6 solutions, then everyone can benefit. As of September 1999, just before the IPv6 World Summit in Paris, the IPv6 FORUM had 60 Members. As of November 2004, the membership has grown over 175.

In case you are not directly involved in such promotion issues, we would be grateful to receive contact names for people in your organisation who can make the membership decision to bring you on board.

The IPv6 Forum welcomes every helping hand, and we invite you to join us. Your valuable addition to our membership would be another important step towards the success of this noble mission.

Best Regards,

Latif LADID
