====BT: If I agree with David's comment above and with the IAB answer to the document, a question remains :

-what will be now the procedure(s) to get an "operational" document ?

Do we have -still- to wait a long time, before official allocation will start ? One could argue nothing is urgent still no networks are ready to deploy for production traffic yet. But it's again a "chicken & egg" problem ... ?

I would note that the following organizations have (some as long ago as last August) requested Sub-TLAs from their respective regional address registry, and have been put on hold by the given registry with the basic explanation that they aren't ready to assign yet. There may be others that I don't know of. ESNET, CANARIE, MCI/vBNS, WIDE, UUNET-UK, NTT, SPRINT. Bob
