Hi Joe,

I don't plan to petition but I won't object if you want to.

I suggest, however, that you're right: judging from the response,
folks need more time to bounce the ideas around and consider what the
most important results of IPv6 addressing policy really are. That may
be less threatening if the ideas aren't looming overhead in the form
of a policy proposal that must be ratified or rejected on schedule.

At any rate, we can dust the proposal off at any time and use it as a
reference to write a better one.

Regards,
Bill
