| Subject: Call for Comments
| 
| 
| The RIRs are requesting comments on the Provisional IPv6 
| Assignment and Allocation Policy Document, the global 
| guideline for allocating IPv6 addresses. 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).
