On 23 May 2011, the NRO issued a press release in advance of the
upcoming meeting of the G8 governments in Paris, stating that it
welcomes the opportunity to provide input to discussions on
Internet-related issues.
NRO Chair, Raúl Echeberría, commented, "With the exhaustion of the
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority's (IANA) pool of available IPv4
addresses in February 2011, it is now more vital than ever that the G8
governments and all other stakeholders prioritize the deployment of IPv6
to ensure the continued growth and development of the Internet. To
increase industry awareness, governments should insist that all
Internet-related products and services that they purchase, including
hardware, software, connectivity, consulting and training services, are
IPv6 ready."
