Antigua & Barbuda/Luxembourg, 28.4.2025 – The IPv6 Forum welcomes the formation of a new IPv6 initiative with the establishment of the Antigua & Barbuda IPv6 Council under the leadership of Mr. Yves R. Ephraim, Managing Director of Pegasus Technologies Inc in Antigua, will serve as its President. and Mr. Brent Mc Intosh, President of the IPv6 Forum Grenada as Vice President.

“The Antigua & Barbuda IPv6 Council will invite key stakeholders from government, industry and academia to work jointly on the Antigua & Barbuda IPv6 roadmap milestones with a collaborative vision, for Antigua & Barbuda to focus its efforts to achieve the adoption of the New Internet world based on IPv6” stated Mr. Yves R. Ephraim, President.

The prime objective of the Antigua & Barbuda IPv6 Council and its members is to promote deployment and coordinated uptake of the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) with support from industry, education, research communities and government agencies enabling equitable access to technology and knowledge.

“The Antigua & Barbuda IPv6 Council has been created to extend to the Antigua & Barbuda Internet community a strong voice and representation in the new Internet world to create momentum in deploying IPv6 and gradually sunset IPv4,” stated Latif Ladid, IPv6 Forum President.

The Internet World has been using the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) for the last four decades. Despite its tremendous success, IPv4 has exhibited signs of strain, especially in its totally depleted IP address space and its growing security concerns. IPv6 successfully preserves today’s Internet, and adds much more, such as virtually unlimited IP address space to connect everyone and everything, stateless auto-configuration, seamless mobility, automated network management, end to end security and new service levels such as SRv6, to name a few examples of opportunity.
