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."

send url.

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.
