I looks fair to me that that someone (possibly the IESG) addresses this
situation; I was reading a minute ago the proposed agenda for the
interim v6ops meeting and there is no mention of the 6bone. The
conclusion of ngtrans (for reasons unrelated to the 6bone) does create a
situation that the 6bone community has not initiated.

I hope this is not boring but the reason I am commenting on the
oversight issue is more a "devil's advocate" thing: If I was a RIR, I
would certainly like to know clearly who oversees this /16 block that I
am supposed to manage. RIRs generally don't like voids.

Michel.
