Yep, this is exactly my understanding what happenend, too (I watched
the "web"cast but had no chance to react as the stream had too much
delay).

I'm still surprised about such a concern, given that ipv6-ops is
not at all "mission critical", and other much more "mission critical"
lists like nsp-sec are (at least while I was subscribed) also run by
"enthusiastic individuals".

If anyone wants to mirror the archives I have no problem with that at
all. Actually, someone already set up archival at GMANE on 2005-04-18:
http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.org.operators.ipv6
so the public off-site archive is already there.

Me neither. RIPE NCC did notify me a few weeks ago that they did add a
reference. It wasn't done on my request.
