Body 
The Internet Architecture Board (IAB), following discussions in the Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF), advises its partner Standards Development
Organizations (SDOs) and organizations that the pool of unassigned IPv4
addresses has been exhausted, and as a result we are seeing an increase in both
dual-stack (that is, both IPv4 and IPv6) and IPv6-only deployments, a trend
that will only accelerate. Therefore, networking standards need to fully
support IPv6. The IETF as well as other SDOs need to ensure that their
standards do not assume IPv4.
