The 6bone is an IETF activity:

http://www.6bone.net/

   The 6bone is an IPv6 testbed to assist in the evolution and deployment
   of IPv6, often referred to as IPng ..., in the Internet.  The 6bone
   activity is part of the ngtrans effort under the IETF.

http://www.6bone.net/ngtrans/

   The IPng Transition (ngtrans) working group of the IETF is under the
   Operations and Management Area, and has as its overall goal assisting
   in and promoting the transition to IPv6, the next generation Internet
   protocol chosen by the IETF community.
   
   Current ngtrans efforts are divided into two separate activities:
   tools and the 6bone.
