RE: [GLOBAL-V6]IPv6 Allocation Policy

[Izumi Okutani <izumi@nic.ad.jp>]

Hi Anne,


Thanks for your support on the guidelines. I got the hint from the
APNIC guidelines for IPv4, and it is nice to know that you feel this
can be applied to IPv6 too.

Yes, unless there is a strong objection in the meeting in Japan, I
would love to make a presentation in the coming APNIC Meeting. I will
submit a proposal before the deadline.
