Just to make matters simpler, the 2015 IGF had a "Best Practice Forum Creating an Enabling Environment for IPv6 Adoption" that released a very thorough document on the same. Find the link here http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/best-practice-forums/2015-bpf-outs
The document was produced through a collaborative effort like what we are trying here. As we develop our own lessons learned, it would be great if we don't re-invent the wheel.
