[6bone] report of 6bone planning BOF

[Bob Fink]

Rob,

I don't mind adding something to the draft, but what would you suggest that 
would do any good.

Net operators are very unlikely to ever read the 6bone phaseout RFC in 
future years to find out what to do.

Nonetheless, I'll add something if you can suggest what and where (and it 
seems reasonable).


Thanks for caring to think about this.

Bob
