[ppml] "Recommended Practices" procedure

[Marc Blanchet]

Hi,
  I've submitted the first version of following document more than a  
year ago as an individual submission to IETF. This came from earlier  
discussion on a need of this kind of document for providers/ 
enterprises who start IPv6 deployment and also to obsolete the 6bone  
routing guidelines document which people still were referring to.
The document has been accepted as v6ops wg document back in Dallas  
(march 2006). Thomas Narten told me that I should look at arin-ppml  
since there was some similarity with a arin-ppml thread.  Please have  
a look at this not-yet-finished document.  It will be discussed  
during IETF Montréal v6ops wg meeting.
BTW, the first version of it (under draft-blanchet-v6ops-...) had  
words on prefix length to advertise but was  pushed back by one  
person, so I remove it then. However, I do believe some wording  
should be back there on prefix length and related issues. Please  
comment to me or v6ops mailing list.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts  
directories.
This draft is a work item of the IPv6 Operations Working Group of the  
IETF.

	Title		: IPv6 Routing Policies Guidelines
	Author(s)	: M. Blanchet
	Filename	: draft-ietf-v6ops-routing-guidelines-00.txt
	Pages		: 8
	Date		: 2006-6-19
	
    Guidelines on how to manage IPv6 routes are needed for operators of
    networks, either providers or enterprises.  This document is a
    followup on RFC2772 work but for the production IPv6 Internet.
    RFC2772 becomes historic.
