        1. so, try to support IPv6 in your corporate network as well as your
           email server sooner than later.
        2. use IPv6-to-IPv4 translator, supposedly available at the venue
           (your laptop = IPv6, corporate = IPv4).

I don't think too many CEO's come to the IETF, so we can't force our companies to move to IPv6. This is especially true in large companies. And if our companies or jobs require us to use applications and OS's that do not support IPv6, then we cannot yet make the change on our laptops.
