It does not seem to me that asking ICANN for status of a project related to Internet numbers is scope creep. If not the ASO, what path would you suggest for an individual stakeholder requesting accountability from ICANN? I have made the same request of the ALO.

The ICANN IPv6 Initiative https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/ipv6-initiative-2017-02-28-en appears to enjoin specific parties (within ICANN and the DNS community) to get more involved with IPv6. For example, there is a task involving ICANN’s Procurement and operations teams to ensure IPv6 related requirements are met for every relevant procurement process. There is task involving DNS Registries and Registrars to conduct a IPv6 compliance assessment, and there is a task for more ICANN outreach on IPv6 to ccTLD operators.
Yes, ICANN has told the community that it will do these things. Then what happens?
There are entire working groups dedicated to improving ICANN’s accountability, and it does appear to be an ongoing process…
... That would be great, thank you,
Sure - the Internet numbers community has good reason to want to see regular reporting as well, even if it is not our project or resources involved.
Thanks, /John
