*Discussion of Supporting IPv6 in the Root Server System *

Doug Brent set out some introductory comments regarding the issue and
information that had been provided to the Board. David Conrad
indicated that IANA has received requests from four root server
operators, F, K, M, Y to add IPv6 addresses to the appropriate
files/databases to enable IPv6-only service for root name servers.
While IANA has added and modified IPv4 address for root servers in the
past, the addition of IPv6 addresses can be argued to be a new process
that has some technical considerations as well as potential policy
implications.

There were elements of the discussion among Board Members on this
topic that were controversial and there had been much Board level
discussion relating to this matter via email. A number of approaches
were discussed regarding an appropriate resolution on the matter and
the Chair sought comments from Board members and liaisons.

Steve Crocker, Thomas Narten, Suzanne Woolf, Harald Alvestrand, David
Conrad, Paul Twomey, the Chair, Bruce Tonkin and Raimundo Beca engaged
in a discussion regarding the appropriate approach and wording for the
resolution and whether a resolution was required.

Following this discussion, Steven Goldstein moved and Harald
Alvestrand seconded the following resolution:

Whereas, in the interests of aiding IPv6 deployment, the ICANN

Board believes IPv6 capability should be added to the root server system

without undue delay,

Whereas, the RSSAC/SSAC report SAC 018 has done a careful study of the

technical issues with adding IPv6 addresses to the root:

It is hereby resolved (__.2007) that the Board requests that IANA
staff add

IPv6 capability as offered by the individual IPv4 root server
operators to

the existing root name servers after a 45-day public notification period

using the methods and practices used to add or modify IPv4 addresses.

A voice vote was taken of all Board Members present, who approved the
motion by a vote of 13 to 0. Raimundo Beca abstained from the vote
because he did not consider this action necessary.
