ICANN registrar supporting v6 glue?

Fri Jun 29 23:11:04 UTC 2007

What I recall from the ICANN Lisbon meeting (end of March), after the SSAC
and RSSAC recommendations, is that a plan is being worked out with the root
operators in order to make sure that they have the deployment done and then
the hints file is modified.

I believe this will not take too much time (just a few months ?), if folks
are interested I can probably investigate about the concrete timing.

Today the ICANN board also approved a new resolution about IPv6, which I
just posted here:
