As a point of clarification, Neustar Ultra Services has exactly
nothing to do with registration of .ORG domain names. That's a
function of Public Interest Registry, who contracts the technical
operations of the registry to Afilias (my employer). Neustar Ultra is
one of the providers of DNS services for .org, but they have nothing
to do with the registration side.
I'm not in a position to state when PIR is planning to accept IPv6
records in the zone, although I am aware that there are plans to do it
in the near future (you'd have to take it up with PIR, because they
make the registry policies). I will note that .info (which Afilias
operates) accepts IPv6 addresses today, but as far as I can tell
registrars just don't care. If this is something you want, you need
to talk to the registrars.
Also,

that happens not to be a Neustar Ultra Services operated nameserver.
There are some servers operated by NUS, authoritative for .org, that
_do_ speak IPv6, however.
