Re: [v4tov6transition] draft-arkko-ipv6-transition-guidelines WGLC

Brian, Fred, et al,

I also think that there is plenty of work left to do in terms of 
providing guidance to network operators on how they should deploy IPv6. 
(I'm not saying that we should add all of it to draft-arkko, though :-)

I very much agree with Brian that we need to have well organized answers 
for all the operational guidance issues. And we do not necessarily have 
all well organized yet. One of the questions coming from this thread 
appears to be where to go for advice when you are starting from ground 
up. But I do think that we have to take time to figure out exactly what 
advice we can already point to, what new work may be needed on top of 
that, and where that new work will happen and by whom.

Its not even always clear that the IETF is the best place for all work 
in this space; the operational forums, various training institutions, 
etc. will also play a role. But one idea might be to reserve some time 
in the next V6OPS session (perhaps a third slot) for a discussion of 
this topic: what operational guidance do we have and what is missing? 
Sort of a high-level review of the situation as opposed to the 
relatively small details that we often spend most of our time on.
