The main points I raised were the lack of a general reference to the audit procedure in the IPv6 policy, and the wording of the section dealing with policy compliance and non-compliance, which has remained unchanged since 2002 and might be difficult to understand without the historical context.
for sure, the existing section of policy that you quoted is not well written and doesn't look like it reflects how ipv6 address resources are handled. It would benefit from a rewrite. In terms of other RIPE policy document changes, there's no shortage of material that could be improved: many of the documents are the product of organic growth, and show all the signs of it. As a general comment, my inclination would either be to do a complete top-down rewrite of specific documents, or else approach rewrites with changes only to small areas. Otherwise you end up with the risk of minor changes derailing other, and potentially more important, changes. Nick
