Hello all
I want to call attention to a open wound. Some people may feel
uncomfortable about the content of this email but I can assure I come
with good intentions.
Recently I got to know that a 6man meeting ironically was conducted via
Webex Videoconferencing tool which does not have IPv6 support. Other
tools used by IETF like GitHub also don't have and in this case is even
worst because there are several alternatives with IPv6 support as
GitLab, Bitbucket or even a self-hosted option.

Shall we do the right thing and put values above other priorities going
forward ?
Thanks for posting this.
I essentially share the same concerns as you.In the specific case of
webex for the recent interim meetings, I would probably be more flexible
(when it comes to the recent interim meetings) since there was a lot of
"on the fly" planning to deal with the contingency of COVID-19. -- and,
as far as I understand,use of Webex has not been formalized in any way
(i.e., nothing prevents us from using something else for the next IETF
or interim meetings).
When it comes to GitHub, there seems to be more formalized use of it
(there's even a WG), and, as you correctly note, given the many
alternative options it seems kind of hard to back a decision to use it.
Thanks!
Cheers,
