    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,

    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.
