Neustar/Ultra's .org gtld registration services apparently do not
As a point of clarification, Neustar Ultra Services has exactly nothing to do with registration of .ORG domain names. That's a function of Public Interest Registry, who contracts the technical operations of the registry to Afilias (my employer). Neustar Ultra is one of the providers of DNS services for .org, but they have nothing to do with the registration side. I'm not in a position to state when PIR is planning to accept IPv6 records in the zone, although I am aware that there are plans to do it in the near future (you'd have to take it up with PIR, because they make the registry policies). I will note that .info (which Afilias operates) accepts IPv6 addresses today, but as far as I can tell registrars just don't care. If this is something you want, you need to talk to the registrars. Also,
Yet, .org does provide a v6 resolver:
b0.org.afilias-nst.org. 86400 IN AAAA 2001:500:c::1
that happens not to be a Neustar Ultra Services operated nameserver. There are some servers operated by NUS, authoritative for .org, that _do_ speak IPv6, however.
