 |  | The IPv6 Promotion Council is holding a contest called "IPv6 Appli- 
		Contest 2003" from February to July. The contest will award developers 
		of applications and software which helps to create new possibilities in 
		the Internet world. The Internet has spawned application and software developers in unexpected 
		places. It is estimated that IPv6, the next generation Internet protocol, 
		will further enhance the possibilities of the Internet.
 The contest will provide an environment for developers to communicate 
		and influence each other. The contest will also be an opportunity to show 
		that the next-generation Internet is expected to develop and expand as 
		a global intelligence asset.
 It is our intention that applicants' submissions will be evaluated by 
		IPv6 users and initial developers. We hope this contest helps to inspire 
		applicants to further promote their developments and refine their ideas.
 The contest is a worldwide event and will promote intercommunication amongst 
		participants in all countries.
