Jim,
	since we provided the ipv6 connectivity to the ietf terminal room since
the last 2 ietfs, I will take care of this offline with Matt. We have some
stats on the use of v6 at the next ietf.

	I surely think that we must provide ipv6 connectivity to all ietf terminal
rooms. I'm really surprised to see this comment from you.  I think the
first place where ipv6 should be demonstrated fully is at the ietf. 
	I would like to challenge people that for the next ietf, we will be able
to do all our work during ietf in ipv6-only: i.e. email,web,ftp,... (yes,
our company will put soon our production mail server on v6 with pop,
sendmail,..., we already have the normos site on v6 (try it with a AAAA
record http://www.normos.org) so all rfcs,internet-drafts,... are
accessible on v6),...
	We also arranged to mirror the 6bone web site on v6 (try:
http://www.6bone.net with a AAAA record).

	At least, the guys from our company will use v6-only during the next ietf.
Any other takers?

At the last ietf, Compaq already supported the unix servers in v6. Mary did
that.
