Michael -

Presently we're swimming in web sites full of IPv6 deployment advice:
 
 http://www.getipv6.info
 http://www.civil-tongue.net/clusterf
 http://www.ipv6tf.org/
 http://go6.net/ipv6-6bone/v6ops/
 http://playground.sun.com/ipv6/

To quoteth Randy: "there seem to be more folk working on v6 wikis than
vendors working on fully functional v6/dual-stack implementations."

If there is a need for ARIN to do more in this space, then let's discuss it,
but I do think it's important to consider what other initiatives are already
underway.
