That mail has been sent; I'll await a reply.

I assume this is the same process used by the other official web
mirrors?

"United States (IPv6)" sounds like the right thing. If that doesn't
work due to length constraints, "6bone (IPv6)" might work, especially
since the current state of IPv6 routing makes geographical proximity
even less relevant than it is in IPv4. It's not that uncommon to see
IPv6 sites whose only connectivity is via a tunnel to a site on the
other side of the planet.
