Harald,
Thank you for your advice. As says the quote you kept, IPv6 is only part of
a global issue where the key point is organizing the numbering plan, what
IETF is not devised for, and ICANN does not consider. I am not interested
in stardizing but in making sure the IETF deliverables fit the needs and
demands of the usage I am interested and competent in. In the Internet
standard process this may be obtained through BCP drafts and during the WG
charter writing and during the document reviews.
These two occasions miss a way for usage inputs to be seriously debated.
This leaves three possibilties:
1. the short time I can spend at the only place where a common inter-WG
culture may develop
2. external actions based upon the inputs/reactions obtained there
3. organize a user representation entity able to carry more weight during
the review period and writing BCP
(1) helps me work on (2) but make me hesitate about the load of (3).
Take care.

Jefsey,
why don't you go yell at the IPv6 Forum - <http://www.ipv6forum.org/>?
It seems far more likely that you will get the IPv6 forum to be effective
by contributing than that you will get the IETF to change its ways by
long-winded messages on the IETF list.

IPv6 is a good example: the IETF deliverable is OK (again Harald is
right). But the main deliverable for the user is a worldwide, Gov
accepted, numbering plan structure. IPv6 is built to be quite transparent
to numbering plan structure. So the ITU-T is the blocking factor. Should
that have been discussed and identified by the NUTF:: instead of
"get[ing] the hell out of the way", ITU-I or ICANN (as now IANA is an
ICANN function disputed by ITU) would have discussed in a joint
conference with ITU-T a long ago and permitted the IETF to continue
working on a real life universal IPv6.
Or, I will continue :-)
