Last Call for Comment on New IPv6 Policy

Scott,

There is work going on to revise the draft and publish it as an RFC.  I 
don't know the timetable for this, but expecting it out as an RFC by July 
might be a bit optimistic.

The basic recommendation in the document (i.e., /48 allocations for sites, 
etc.) will not change.  The new version is improve the text and clarify 
side issues.

Also, I belive the issues subsequently raised about the bits to the left of 
/48 will not be in this document as they belong to the registry community 
(i.e., not the IETF).

Bob
