If only you'd been listening on http://tv.carnet.hr/tnc2003 to the 6NET 
workshop 5 minutes ago you'd have the answer (this event goes on to 3pm
today btw).  (The broadcast system is a nice one)
 
e.g. GEANT receives 220 routes from Abliene, and filters production prefixes
longer than /32-/35.   6bone prefixes are accepted now, but not for much 
longer.   There are currently no community tag policies applied, but these 
may follow (e.g. should Abilene indicate "goodness" of its advertised routes).

See http://www.join/uni-muenster.de/geantv6
and http://www.dante.net/nep/ipv6/index.html.

OK, will do!  Sounds like the communities should work tegether...
