Some of you may remember the short discussion here last November about the MERIT Darknet experiment and the subsequent change in our permission to MERIT. This RIPE meeting we have heard a presentation from MERIT/US-DHS about first results: https://ripe66.ripe.net/presentations/121-v6darknet-ripe2013.pdf Given this, the RIPE NCC is seeking guidance on what our permission to MERIT should be in the future. Here are a couple of slides which we will present in the routing-wg: https://ripe66.ripe.net/presentations/259-20130515-v6-darknet.key.pdf Any reactions are welcome. I suggest to have any discussion over on routing-wg@ripe.net. Daniel
