small group seeks european IPv6 sceptic for good time

folx,

along with several others i've been putting together a panel for
ripe/nanog about ipv6.  the core contention is that there is a large,
unrepresented body of operators who are sceptical as to the need for
IPv6, see no market demand, see no problem it solves and see no
justification for the cost.  balancing that is the belief that
address space will be exhausted and that we need a replacement for
v4.  mediating the two of those is the desire to have a scalable
routing system (which many people think means separating identity and
location).

so, the panel for nanog has already been submitted.  i was hoping
to do one at RIPE, too, but some of the panelists can't make it and
many at RIPE took umbrage at the north americanness of all of the
participants on the panel.

so i come here looking for suggestions for the following:

--someone rabidly pro v6 (european or not, preferably a network
operator).  this would make a nice addition to the panel for nanog

--someone cold-heartedly anti-v6 who is a european operator

suggestions welcome in private mail (i don't think that the panel is
of operational significance, although the lack of market demand for
anything like v6 may be).

thanks,

--
