Thanks for bringing this issue up on the list. When approached initially by the IETF the RIRs jointly worked with the 6bone to see how 6bone address space could be incorporated into the registry system, providing registration services to participants of the 6bone.
I wasn't talking about the "6bone integration into the RIR system" proposal.
We need to have reverse delegation for the 3FFE space, under ip6.arpa, and this has to happen *now*, not "at some point far away to the future when 6bone has ceased to exist and everybody is living peacefully under the RIR's hoods".
With regards to the proposal we are seeking a complete solution but do understand the urgency for this operational issue.
There's no need for the RIRs to actually do anything, besides give up the blockade position "the 6bone is not a RIR and per the RFC, only RIRs can do reverse delegation under ip6.arpa". Have IANA delegate e.f.f.3.ip6.arpa to the same set of servers as e.f.f.3.ip6.int (as per Bill Manning's request that was denied due to RIR disapproval), and be done with it.
We are looking for a pragmatic solution to this technical problem. This will be discussed with the other RIRs in the course of the next week and at IETF. We expect to have a solution in place by the end of November.
This is really *really* annoying, and it's hurting IPv6 deployment.
