From announce at arin.net Tue Nov 7 17:38:52 2000 From: announce at arin.net (announce) Date: Tue, 7 Nov 2000 17:38:52 -0500 (EST) Subject: IPv6 Reassignment Policy Message-ID: <200011072238.RAA14787@ops.arin.net> At the last ARIN Open Policy meeting there was no consensus among the members whether ARIN should adopt the proposed IAB/IESG allocation policy. The main point of the proposed policy was that the minimum IPv6 address allocation should be a prefix of the length /48. The sentiment of the members was that this issue needed to be discussed in further detail. The presentation and minutes from the discussion on this topic are located at: http://www.arin.net/minutes/public/arinivi/ARIN_VI_PPM.htm The policy had been presented at the RIPE meeting in September and at the APNIC meeting held after the ARIN meeting. Both RIPE NCC and APNIC have agreed to adopt the policy. ARIN is the only region that has not adopted the policy. ARIN hasn't formally rejected it either. Now is the time to discuss the proposed policy and either adopt it or propose a strong alternative and present that to the other RIRs. To facilitate this discussion, a new working group (the IPv6 Working Group) has been established. Bill Manning (a member of the ARIN Advisory Council) has volunteered to chair the group. The email address of the group is v6wg at arin.net. To subscribe to this mailing list, please visit: http://www.arin.net/members/mailing.htm. If you have an opinion about this proposal, please subscribe to the list and participate in the discussion. Your feedback, whether you are a member of ARIN or not, is the most important element of the policy development process in the ARIN region.
