2 networks would be the only networks available?

Depending on results, this outage could be expanded to a full day at the
following meeting, until the IPv4 network is totally removed from the WiFi?

If you wish to test that your networks are reachable from a v6-only 
environment,
there is already a v6-only network you can use to test that. Many of us 
require
access to the entire Internet to do our jobs, however.

NAT64 allows you to reach the entire IPv4 network, so you should be able to 
continue to do your job. NAT64 is already deployed on many mobiles in the US. 

Why moving from dual stack IPv4/IPv6 to IPv6 with NAT64? 
It ensures that all the OS and client applications can work in an IPv6 only 
environment while still be able to reach legacy systems (aka IPv4).
