[address-policy-wg] 2010-07 New Policy Proposal (Ambiguity cleanup on IPv6 Address Space Policy for IXP)

Hi Andy,

thanks for forwarding to EIX.  We'll discuss this proposal (and the 
wider topic "how do we want the policy to be?") in the Wednesday APWG
time slot in Rome (Thursday APWG time slot conflicts with EIX, which 
would be non-helpful).

Since both of the listed authors of the current RIPE document regarding
IPv6 assignments to IXPs are reading this list :-) - Timothy and Leo, 
could you briefly comment how you remember the intent of the policy?

thanks,

Gert Doering,
	APWG chair
