→ICANN's IPv6 Global Allocation Policy
In December, 1995, [[IANA]] formally assumed the responsibility of the address management functions of IPv6; subsequently, in 1996, the IPv6 standard is completed and its production allocation is made available to [[ISP]]s in 1999. The early phase of IPv6 deployment started in 2000 using tunneling techniques over a common IPv4 layer. [[Google]] and [[Comcast]] are among the large internet operators deploying IPv6.<ref>[http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/48/51/44953210.pdf www.oecd.org]</ref> By mid 2007, public interest on the use of IPv6 increased based on the [[AS|Autonomous System]] routing table. Between 2004 to 2008, IPv6 routes increased from 2.5 % TO 3%. As of 2008, the size of IPv6 deployment in terms of host capability is between 2-3 per one thousand internet hosts.<ref>[http://meetings.ripe.net/ripe-56/presentations/Huston-Measuring_IPv6_Deployment.pdf Measuring IPv6 Deployment]</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.
* 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.
* 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 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.
