My initial reaction is that this may well not be this WG's job. Could you clarify a bit in terms of what you want advice on? Note that you should in any case be also having discussions with the appropriate Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) (i.e., ARIN, APNIC, or RIPE). They may well be able to give you the info you are looking for as they have policies in place that describe the procedures for obtaining IPv6 address space. Consult their web pages for more info and specifics. Finally, note that the RIR IPv6 policy is currently under revision, so now would be a particularly good time to discuss with the RIRs any issues you might have, in case they need to be considered in the updated IPv6 policy. I've appended a somewhat-related note I recently sent to V6 WG in ARIN on this topic.

Previously, each RIR (ARIN, APNIC, and RIPE) had been discussing the same general topic but on their own mailing lists. The goal of having all related discussion take place on a single list is to have APNIC, ARIN, and RIPE develop mutually agreeable policies that all three RIRs can adopt as their own. It is expected that much of the discussion that has previously been taking place on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list will instead take place on the global list. The v6wg list will remain in place, however, for discussion of topics more specific to ARIN. You MUST subscribe to the list individually; those of you subscribed to the v6wg list will NOT automatically be added to the global-v6 list. List details: To post: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. To subscribe: http://www.apnic.net/net_comm/lists/ Archives: http://www.apnic.net/mailing-lists/global-v6 Finally, an updated IPv6 policy document will be made available shortly. It contains more details and takes into account discussions at the recent RIR meetings. The document will be posted to the global-v6 list and we hope to have some good discussions there.
