Hmmm...I think we've looped around to where I got on this mailing list a 
couple of years ago.  At that point some people were ganging up on ARIN 
staff and going on at some considerable length about how horrible, bad, 
just terrible it was that ARIN was wasting the funds provided by small 
ISPs by sending staff to technical conferences to do outreach on IPv6.

Sigh.

P.S.  I'd settle for my management and upstream providers caring about 
IPv6.  I'm at peace with the vast majority of our customers thinking I'm 
insane should I start talking to them about the plumbing.  If it's lower 
than layer 7, they don't care.

"When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in
numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it,
when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and
unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have
scarcely, in your thoughts, advanced to the state of science, whatever the matter may be." ~Lord Kelvin
