For those of you attending the next IETF meeting: ----- Forwarded message from Akira Kato <kato@wide.ad.jp> ----- To: 6bone@ISI.EDU Subject: Re: Meeting on IPv6 Address Allocation Policy From: Akira Kato <kato@wide.ad.jp> Date: Wed, 10 Mar 1999 10:48:50 +0900 I sent the pre-announcement attached below in Mar 07 afternoon. I got positive responses from at least two Regional Registries and I would like to confirm the meeting: It will be held as below: March 16 (TUE), 11:30 -- 12:30 in Room Salon G (-- 11:15, the first NGtrans meeting held in the same room The purpose of the meeting is *not* to bash the registries but to - Demonstrate how we are requiring IPv6 address space, - Understand the current situation of each Regional Registry, - Find out what kind of help from IPv6 community to the registries is needed to expedite the allocation process, - so on. Note that we will only have only 1 hour slot. So please understand that we can not discuss the issues in detail. Also please read the IPv6 Address Allocation Policy in advance. See you soon in Minneapolis! -- Akira Kato, WIDE Project

Folks,

The Regional Registries (ARIN, RIPE/NCC, APNIC) is about to define the IPv6 address allocation policy. Their current draft may be referred from your regional registries. In the case of APNIC, you can get through the URL below: http://www.apnic.net/ipv6draft.html

The registries held a meeting to discuss the guidelines last week in Singapore (in conjunction with Apricot'99) and some IPv6 people have been invited to the meeting. Althrough I was not able to attend it, a quick report from my colleague said that there was some discussion on the current bootstrap condition which requires an IPv6 (s)TLA applicant should have at least 100 non-dialup customers (corresponding to the 8th paragraph of 4.1.1 in the case of APNIC draft).

One of the conclusion of the meeting was to hold a continuous discussion during the Minnepolis IETF meeting. Current candidate timeslot is just after the first NGtrans session is over (March 16 (TUE) 11:30 -- 12:30, in Room Salon G).

Please note that the above schedule is tentative and may be changed or even entirely cancelled. Those who are interested to participate it, please stay tuned.
