i believe that marty neither submitted nor recruited any ipv6 content
(or any other content for that matter).  most nanog attendees never
submit any presentations because they're busy building and operating
networks, which is part of what makes our jobs on the program
committee harder.  

we'd certainly look forward to any relevant, operational content
that's directly about ipv6, but the community seems to have decided
that the operational issues related to v6 are the ones that we do have
presentations on: v4 address exhaustion and trading policy, and docsis
3.0 cable rollout issues.

we got very mixed feedback about the v6 content at nanog 41 in
albuquerque: many people came just for that, but many other attendees
thought it was overkill.  we didn't reject a single v6 talk for
brooklyn, but that's because we didn't receive any.  

marty:  did you submit or recruit any talk on anything at all that you
think was misjudged by the PC? did you suggest to someone on the PC
that we recruit a specific talk that we didn't follow up on?  if so,
please let me know immediately and we'll try to get more on the ball
for nanog 44 in LA.  

if this is more just freeform grousing, that's welcome, too.  but
constructive feedback about what, specifically, you were hoping for
(and who you thought might product that presentation) would be useful.

i believe the latter.  which really is ok, since we like feedback from
the community about what they want/expect/hopefor in the content of
the conference.  we also really like presentations, though, so if
someone thinks there's some good content on what is going on in
ipv6-land that is relevant to operators of Internet-connected
networks, we'd be happy to review it and give it a platform if we find
it relevant.
