Re: IPv6-only and gather.town for meeting at IETF

[Alexa Morris <[e-mail]>]

Hi Alex,

The IETF 108 Gather space is not yet finished, which is why we have not yet shared the link widely or promoted the platform to the IETF Community at large. Gather was briefly used during this morning's hackathon kickoff but we are still adding the final touches. While the space is open, we have not provisioned for it to be widely used until the week of the IETF 108 meeting. 

The Gather team has added support for IPv6 -- at our request -- but, again, the space is not quite ready yet. Please give us the rest of the week to prepare for next week's meeting. We will publish more information about the IETF 108 Online Gather space --  along with user guidelines -- as soon as we can.
