[ipv6-wg] A Modest IPv6-wg Proposal

Here I say again my lovely 5c ;)

Here are mostly people building networks and thinking in network 
engineering way. But the most usual people are not. Regular people go to 
the Internet not for IPv4 or IPv6. They go for *CONTENT*. And the main 
problem there is no content in the IPv6 Internet.

RIPE *CAN* help to promote IPv6 by sponsoring content providers. For 
example, by assigning IPv6 PI for free completely or for some trial 
period to hosting/colo/VDS providers. It will be a big step forward.
