[ppml] Proposed Policy: eGLOP Multicast Address Assignments - not accepted by AC as formal policy proposal

[Marshall Eubanks]

Hello All;

I should add that the same proposal has been submitted to RIPE and  
APNIC, and I presented on
it to APNIC yesterday.

It will be taken up at the next APNIC meeting, in New Delhi at the  
end of the Summer.

Here is the APNIC presentation
