Working closely with the IPv6 community, this policy document was developed jointly by ARIN, APNIC, and RIPE NCC, and was submitted to IANA on May 28, 1999. With some additions, it was approved on July 14, 1999. Shortly thereafter, IANA made the first formal delegations of IPv6 address space to the RIRs for their allocation to qualified organizations. Provision was made for a formal revision of the document after an initial period of operational and administrative experience. Now that the document has been posted for several months, and organizations have received sub-TLA allocations, comments from the community would be helpful in making insightful revisions. The document can be found at the following location: http://www.arin.net/regserv/ipv6/IPv6.txt While comments are welcome on any subject in the document, several topics are of particular interest: * A definition of "transit provider" * Input for sections 4.2.3.2 Multihomed Sites, 2.1.4 NLA Registries, and 2.1.5 End-sites * Revising sections 4.2.8 Allocations to NLA Registries and 4.3.1 Assignments to End-users * Adding sections entitled Guidelines for Allocations to NLAs, and Guidelines for Assignments to SLAs to aid in providing NLA and SLA reassignments. Discussion of revising this document will be held on the IP Allocation Policies Working Group (policy at arin.net) mailing list. If you would like to participate in this discussion, please do so on the IP Allocation Policies Working Group mailing list (policy at arin.net). If you are not currently subscribed to the above mentioned mailing list, please visit the following URL and follow the subscription instructions. http://www.arin.net/members/mailing.htm The period for comment will end on January 21, 2000.
