[ppml] IPv6 initial allocation policy

[Scott Leibrand]

Anthony,

Check out the policy proposals on ARIN's website for the upcoming Montreal
meeting.  There's a policy under consideration that would allow anyone who
qualifies for IPv4 provider-independent (PI) space to get IPv6 PI space as
well.

It sounds like you're strongly in favor of such a policy, so I would
recommend reading over it, expressing your opinion of the policy to this
list, and then participating in the Montreal ARIN meeting (either in
person or remotely) to have a part in the process.
