RE: focussing energies

["Bound, Jim" <jim.bound@hp.com>]

the only mandate with real backing and serious is U.S. DOD and all 3G
IMS must be IPv6.  Separate an objective from a mandate.  Two different
things. 

See NAv6TF response to the U.S. Department of Commerce IPv6 RFC too:
 http://www.nav6tf.org/slides/NAv6TF_Response_NTIA_IPv6_RFC_FINAL.pdf

Being used in many forums now too.  Note the industry is highly
concerned about the IETF TTM to meet techcnology requirements.  To much
debae and not enough deliverables.  Recall what happened to SC7 in ISO
many years ago they were replaced by the IETF.  IETF is replacable too
for some functions one being Ipv6 Transition.
