Following the consensus reached in the community on assigning IPv6 address space to Internet Exchange Points, the RIPE NCC is now starting to make IPv6 assignments to requesting Internet Exchange Points.
We don't really think that consensus has been reached yet. We have discussed lot's of details at the mailing list, but the community at large did not have a chance yet to approve a final proposal. As chairpeople of two of the respective working groups, we asked the RIPE NCC to schedule a slot at the next meeting in order to have a final discussion regarding this very topic. We invite you to do a presentation on the next meeting of what you think that the status of the discussion is so far and to send a document to the mailing list some time before the meeting that describes the proposed policy based on the input from the discussions that we had on the mailing list.
From there, we the chairpeople can ask the RIPE community at the next meeting whether they approve and possibly make some small adjustments or whether we have to go back to the drawing board and need more discussion.
We would like to ask you to suspend the proposed policy until we have had a chance to ask the RIPE community for approval. Meanwhile we suggest that discussion continues on the LIR-WG list.

Dear all,
Following the consensus reached in the community on assigning IPv6 address space to Internet Exchange Points, the RIPE NCC is now starting to make IPv6 assignments to requesting Internet Exchange Points.
A specific request form has been created for this purpose, "IPv6 Request Form for Internet Exchange Points" which can be obtained at the RIPE document store at:
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ipv6request-exchangepoint.html
Pending requestors will be asked to complete this form in order to receive an IPv6 assignment from the RIPE NCC.
We wish to thank all participants of this discussion for the constructive input in this matter.
Kind regards,
Nurani Nimpuno
