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 On Thu, Oct 21, 2010 at 03:18:35PM +0100, Andy Davidson wrote: > > Hi, > > [ Copied to EIX-wg, since this policy affects assignments to Internet Exchange Points specifically ] > > On 19 Oct 2010, at 16:00, Emilio Madaio wrote: > > > You can find the full proposal at: > > > > http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2010-07.html > > > > > > We encourage you to review this proposal and send your comments to > > <address-policy-wg at ripe.net> before 17 November 2010. > > I think that 'open' in the document right now, means 'we are open about the policy for joining', not 'the exchange is open to anyone to join'.
