The problem that was explained is how an ISP gives easily connectivity 
to its customers, waiting for access networks/equipments/technologies to 
be upgraded. I think this is a good problem that needs to be solved 
(talking here as an ISP)

Now I guess what is important to get is that we need something quickly, 
or new equipments will come before we have adopted anything. One could 
argue we can wait 5 more years and don't bother much. This is not what 
we did and we (as other ISPs) started to buy some commercial tools 
(tunnel brokers) fulfilling all our requirements (low latency is not a 
requirement for us). Tunnel discovery is not a problem for an ISP that 
doesn't care much  giving a TEP IP address to its customers (or 
preconfiguring the tunnel broker client). Then I can't understand that 
this could be a stopper for not making the group.

The point here is that as an ISP, I'd prefer to work with a standard, 
manageable and available solution. Is one already available? If yes that 
is worth documenting how to use/deploy it (in v6ops WG). If not, then we 
have to adopt a new standard (in v6tc as v6ops is not made for it).
