i actually spent 20 minutes on the iana web site. admittedly that was
far to little time to navigate and appreciate the plethora of papers and
declarations on this and that. i finally sent off an email, but have no
response, yet. i have hope, as the team there now is pretty good. it's
probably just my lack of talent at navigating that much layer >= 9
paper. they need a link on the entry page saying "old ops folk go here."

i will. i am trying to document ops processes for v6 in my feeble way,
doing it in a blog-like fashion. e.g. for the sage of doing it at one
small set of servers see <http://rip.psg.com/~randy/ipv6-westin.html>.
more clues would be appreciated. i am hoping all this will seem trite
and passe in six months or so.
but if we can not find a way to get AAAA glue added to gTLDs such as the
com zone, we have a *serious* impediment to v6 deployment that needs to
be fixed quickly.
