I've created a page on the getipv6 Wiki to encourage members to list their
common vendors:

http://www.getipv6.info/index.php/Vendors_in_the_ARIN_Region

Please consider taking a few moments to add vendors that you work with,
including a short description of what the company does, and any
contact information you have. Additions can be posted under an 'anonymous'
wiki account if you would like to keep your vendor list private.
