Keep in mind that the document Ivan kindly proposed is still work in process... and that the last has not been mentioned about it. It is a good initial reference for this point in time, but to 'formaly' reference to it would result in a moving target I fear.

You might also want to check whether a CPE-focused RIPE document wouldn't reinvent the wheel. http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv6-cpe-router-09 Ivan

My suggestion was to develop a best practice for consumer CPE specifications based on existing IETF standards/drafts.

Hi,
Thank you for suggestion. Mandatory part should not be a big challenge, but optional section might be tricky...
We'll try to compile first beta draft text for the CPE and see if community likes it and what we need to change/add.
best, Jan Zorz

Good point, and having a Consumer CPE spec as a RIPE standard would help for last mile access requirements. RIPE-501 only aimed for government and enterprise deployments.
My personal preference would be to keep pointing to the work done in the IETF. The problem with standards is, there usually are too many. Adding another one will only lead to more confusion, let alone the time it will take to get consensus.
