Thank you Stefan. I've been reading about it at the microsoft site. When
proxys are ipv6 enabled anyone can use or access ipv6 websites. Very cool.
The big point I wanted to make is we need more people in the GA and not all
of them are going to understand the language. A guide needs to be produced
that is easy for new members to understand. Maybe some of ICANN's Outreach
money can be used to produce a viable acronym and tech term index for the GA
and opther orgs for newbys. Kind of an ICANN for Dummys, no pun intended in
regards to the ICANN BoD.
