==ICANN's IPv6 Global Allocation Policy==
On July 16, 2006, [[ICANN]] released its' policy statement regarding the allocation of IPv6 address space which include:<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/policies/proposed-ipv6-policy-14jul06.htm Proposed Global Policy for Allocation of IPv6 Address Space]</ref>
* The unit of IPv6 address space allocation from [[IANA]] will be /12. A sufficient number of address space will allocated to every [[RIR]] to support their registries needs for 18 months.RIR will be responsible in choosing their own allocation reservation strategies to ensure effective and efficient work.
* Every RIR with less than /12 of un-allocated address space will receive an IPv6 allocation from IANA following ICANN's implementation of the IPv6 Address Space Global Allocation Policy.
* Any RIR will be eligible for an additional allocation of IPv6 address space if an RIR has less than 50% of the /12 and an RIR's IPv6 address space is less than its established necessary space for the next 9 months period. During this situations, IANA will make a single IPv6 allocation enough to meet the RIR's established address space for 18 months.
* The IPv6 necessary space will be calculated this way, '''NECESSARY SPACE=AVERAGE NO. OF ADDRESSES ALLOCATED PER MONTH x LENGTH OF PERIOD IN MONTHS'''
* The allocation of IPV6 addresses to an RIR should be announced an updated on IANA, National Resource Organization ([[NRO]]), the coordinating body for the 5 RIRs responsible in distributing IP addresses and AS numbers; and RIR respective websites. The administrative procedures to manage this process will be handled by ICANN and NRO.
