I think the suggested change does not go far enough. The "high-service-level domains" that prompted this draft to be written, and all the implementers I'm currently aware of, are decommissioning the practice.

So the paragraph that states, "It is unclear how implementers will judge when the network conditions will have changed sufficiently to justify turning off DNS Resolver Whitelisting and/or what the process and timing will be for discontinuing this practice" is still incorrect. Can you just remove the paragraph and start the section with "Many implementers have announced that they plan to permanently turn off whitelisting beginning on..." ?

I've changed it around to the following:

Domains that choose to implement DNS Resolver Whitelisting generally consider it to be a temporary measure. Many implementers have announced that they plan to permanently turn off DNS Resolver Whitelisting beginning on the date of the World IPv6 Launch, on June 6, 2012 <xref target='World IPv6 Launch'/>. For any implementers that do not turn off DNS Resolver Whitelisting at that time, it may be unclear how each and every one will judge when the network conditions to have changed sufficiently to justify turning off DNS Resolver Whitelisting. That being said, it is clear that the extent of IPv6 deployment to end users in networks, the state of IPv6-related impairment, and the maturity of IPv6 operations are all important factors. Any such implementers may wish to take into consideration that, as a practical matter, it will be impossible to get to a point where there are no longer any IPv6-related impairments; some reasonably small number of hosts will inevitably be left behind as end users elect not to upgrade them or as some hosts are incapable of being upgraded.

Thanks for your input,

Jason
