An article in New Zealand Computerworld on 20 July 2010 says "A group of international experts predict the date that IPv4, the current pool of internet protocol addresses, will run out is 18 July 2011, while the transition to IPv6, the new address pool, is occurring in fits and starts in New Zealand. A special taskforce under the auspices of InternetNZ has been set up and is headed by Murray Milner."

Hear Murray Milner address this from a business readiness, rather than technical, point of view.

IPv6 will be part of your business within the next year or so - coming whether you're ready or not. What must I do to ensure my business is ready when the inevitable time arrives? Is this Y2K all over again?

This will complement the recent ISSIG session which explored the potential security issues with the transition to IPv6.

Includes light lunch.
