2006年5月，ATIS IPv6工作组（IPv6TF）发布了一份关于IPv6各个方面的报告和建议，题为“ATIS互联网协议版本6（IPv6）:报告和建议，2006年5月”该小组审查的领域包括部署、过渡挑战和部署IPv6背后的市场驱动因素。作为对该报告的回应，ATIS董事会要求ATIS技术与运营（TOPS）理事会授权延长IPv6TF，以提出尽可能向前推进的步骤，以应对所确定的众多转型挑战。IPv6TF的第二份报告试图实现这一目标。

In May 2006, the ATIS IPv6 Task Force (IPv6TF) issued a report and recommendation with respect to various aspects of IPv6 entitled "ATIS Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6): Report & Recommendation, May 2006." Areas reviewed by the group included deployment, transition challenges and the market drivers behind deployment of IPv6. In response to that report, the ATIS Board of Directors requested that the ATIS Technical & Operations (TOPS) Council commission the extension of the IPv6TF to propose steps forward to the extent possible to address the numerous transition challenges identified. This second report of the IPv6TF attempts to address this objective.
