Thank you for your advice. As says the quote you kept, IPv6 is only part of a global issue where the key point is organizing the numbering plan, what IETF is not devised for, and ICANN does not consider. I am not interested in stardizing but in making sure the IETF deliverables fit the needs and demands of the usage I am interested and competent in. In the Internet standard process this may be obtained through BCP drafts and during the WG charter writing and during the document reviews.
These two occasions miss a way for usage inputs to be seriously debated. This leaves three possibilties:
1. the short time I can spend at the only place where a common inter-WG culture may develop
2. external actions based upon the inputs/reactions obtained there
3. organize a user representation entity able to carry more weight during the review period and writing BCP
(1) helps me work on (2) but make me hesitate about the load of (3). Take care. jfc

Jefsey,
why don't you go yell at the IPv6 Forum - <http://www.ipv6forum.org/>?
It seems far more likely that you will get the IPv6 forum to be effective by contributing than that you will get the IETF to change its ways by long-winded messages on the IETF list.

IPv6 is a good example: the IETF deliverable is OK (again Harald is right). But the main deliverable for the user is a worldwide, Gov accepted, numbering plan structure. IPv6 is built to be quite transparent to numbering plan structure. So the ITU-T is the blocking factor. Should that have been discussed and identified by the NUTF:: instead of "get[ing] the hell out of the way", ITU-I or ICANN (as now IANA is an ICANN function disputed by ITU) would have discussed in a joint conference with ITU-T a long ago and permitted the IETF to continue working on a real life universal IPv6.
Or, I will continue :-)
