Once the IETF web services are operated under a contract with the IASA, and
that contract contains text like "these servers must be reachable via
IPv4", I think it is a very reasonable idea for the IETF Administrative
Director to ask the company providing this service under contract what they
would charge extra in order to change that line in their contract to "IPv4
and IPv6".
At the moment, remember, the IETF's webservers are provided by a company
that is under no formal obligation to do anything requested by the IETF
community;
That is a fundamental imbalance in the order of things.
they have chosen for reasons that seem good to them to continue
not offering IPv6 access to the IETF servers, presumably because they think
that some of the other things we have asked them to do take priority.
I think IPv6 can wait until we have the formalities straight.
With all due respect, thats bu%^sh$t. The IETF needs no outside provider
to provided the desired level of connectivity. I have had redundant /48's
routed to my internal networks for almost 2 years, both 6bone addressing
and production addresses, and my upstream bandwidth providers haven't even
heard of v6. Thurn on the tunnel and get it over with, sans the
beauracracy that is crippling this organization.
