I was quite surprised to see the volume of drafts at http://tools.ietf.org/wg/v6ops/, though only 4 are current WG active drafts, with 3 more at the IESG phase.

It's quite interesting the tools system includes/reveals some personal drafts from nearly 10 years ago.

It would be good to get some prioritisation on which drafts are the highest value to work on, if there's 4 WG drafts and about 35 personal drafts that are current (published/updated in 2011).
