Step two: determine how laptops in the pleanary meeting room will
be fed with the IPv6-only address of the appropriate recursive name server
(eg. /etc/resolv.conf for Unixes) in the absence of that information
in a DHCPv4 environment. One would have to choose between:

- DHCPv6 option (RFC 3646 by way of RFC 3315-stateful or RFC
3736-stateless). That would mean that a DHCPv6 server would be
UP&RUNNING during the meeting and laptops equipped with a DHCPv6
client

- Modified RA (RFC 5006 - Experimental!)

- Manual setting: everybody would have to emacs/vi their
  /etc/resolv.conf or use any GUI available on their OS, while reading
  the recursive server's IPv6 address on the projection board

I think this issue which is not an obvious one (it is still a daily
hurdle for many people among "IPv6 volunteers") deserves being looked
during the experiment preparation if it hasn't been taken into account
yet.
