IPv6 DNS resolvers issue (Re: Why have we gotten away from running code?)

[Harald Tveit Alvestrand <harald at alvestrand.no>]

Since nobody's mentioned the draft name yet, and we generally tell people 
"go read the drafts"....

 draft-ietf-dnsop-ipv6-dns-configuration-06.txt

Or - "there are 3 options. We can't pick one".

The document was approved by the IESG in July (but seems to be waiting for 
an IESG note).
