SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The current policy climate indicates the federal government is 
taking concrete steps to solidify the United States as a leader in IT 
modernization. This is evident with policy releases such as M-21-07 and 
M-24-10.
    It is widely recognized that full transition to IPv6 is the only 
viable option to ensure future growth and innovation in internet 
technology and services. The federal government must expand and enhance 
its strategic commitment to the transition to IPv6 in order to keep 
pace with and capitalize on industry trends. The Office of Management 
and Budget's (OMB) M-21-07 ``Completing the Transition to IPv6'' 
provides key milestone dates for agencies to transition into IPv6-only 
technology stacks. In FY24, agencies are expected to reach 50% IPv6-
only network environments. The Federal IPv6 Task Force has been helping 
agencies overcome challenges and identify best practices for achieving 
a full transition to IPv6.
    Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making waves in both the private 
and public sectors as one of the most powerful technologies available. 
With the release of M-24-10 ``Advancing Governance, Innovation, and 
Risk Management for Agency Use of Artificial Intelligence,'' OMB 
outlines the expectations for agencies to strengthen AI governance, 
advance responsible AI innovation, and manage the risks from the use of 
AI.

Format

    The annual IT Modernization Summit convenes leaders from the
