Dear Colleagues,
In 1999 The RIPE NCC and the other Regional Internet Registries (RIRs), ARIN and APNIC, began allocating IPv6 sub-TLAs.
According to current policy[1] the bootstrap phase "will only apply until 100 requesting organisations have received allocations of sub-TLA address space".
To date, the three RIRs have made 90 sub-TLA allocations[2].
At RIPE 39 in Bologna it was suggested to prolong the bootstrap phase until RIPE 40 if 100 allocations are reached.
We will inform the community as soon as 100 IPv6 allocations have been made.
Other IPv6 information is available on our web site at <http://www.ripe.net/ipv6>.
Of course, there would be at least one more sub-TLA allocated if the IPv4 rules for supernational registries were to be applied to IPv6 instead of restricting these to only having a single sub-TLA allocation... :-( James -- James Aldridge, Senior Network Engineer (IP Architecture) KPNQwest, Singel 540, 1017 AZ Amsterdam, NL Tel: +31 70 379 37 03; GSM: +31 65 370 87 07
