A topic that's near and dear to my heart is how an IPv6 host finds IPv6 
addresses for resolving nameservers. The IETF doesn't seem to be able 
to reach consensus on doing this by having well known addresses, by 
advertising the addresses in the DNS or by doing this using some form 
of DHCP. And having more than one solution is also blocked.

So what do we, as people who actually run IPv6, feel about this, and 
what can we do other than editing resolv.conf by hand every time we 
move to another IPv6 network?

I'd be happy to summerize the issue (but be warned that I'm biased) but 
the real value in having this as an agenda item would be a discussion.

I'll also be happy to talk about by IPv6 counter ( 
http://countipv6.bgpexpert.com/ ) but there isn't THAT much to tell.
