One of must have a copy of the DDN memo somewhere. The truth is, it did not happen, there were a few exceptions granted for some sites that were not quite ready (I've forgotten now). That BTW: the difference between ARPAnet to IP and IPv4 to v6 switch. There was someone in charge, the US Gov - which was paying the bills, so they could declare a red-letter day. IMHO: It really too bad, economic got in the way of sanity so we still have v4.
