ICAAN announces that the very first IPv6 nameserver address was added to a root server.  With everyone getting an IP address for any device imaginable, there has to be a plan to start migrating to this new addressing scheme to provide, they say, trillions more addresses.

Japan (.jp) and Korea (.kr) were the first with France soon to follow.

Recognizing the importance of IPv6 to the Internet community, ICANN has coordinated with its Root Server System Advisory Committee, Top Level Domain managers, Security and Stability Advisory Committee, and other interested parties in careful analysis of this issue. After a period of thorough examination, the decision was made to move forward with deployment of the IPv6 address records in the manner prescribed by the community.

This means that your larger organizations should start looking at this, I know we have discussed it.
