IPv6 was conceived with the idea of coexistence with IPv4 for a large period... That is why, there is no "migration" date, or D day, but only a transition mechanism that allows both protocols to coexist. There are, for this purpose, more than 40 transition mechanisms proposed at the IETF. This is only a matter of choosing the more convenient to our needs.
