I agree to passing this policy in this (or the previous version 3.0 of
2011-02-09) form.

My objection to excluding IPv6 has been taken care of (while I note that
the undated NCC certification FAQ anyway tells "... certify their PA address
allocations. This includes both IPv4 and IPv6 ...", and ripe-513 dated
2011-02-07 even in the title did know about PA space in IPv6 context).

(my mail of Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2011 00:00:40 +0100) 

I'm not aware what concern or argument has been raised in order to include
IPv4 "ALLOCATED UNSPECIFIED";  this inclusion seems to be opposite direction
to quickly covering the most simple cases.
I'd not be surprised if later on some complications with this hit.
I'm NOT seeing this as a show stopper.

Beyond these changes my arguments and concerns from the last revision
(my mail from Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2011 00:00:40 +0100) essentially still
apply - but I did NOT raise them as show stoppers then, and still regard them
again as challenges for making required further progress.
Looking forward to discuss required and planned activities at RIPE62.

It is not easy to track what actually has changed, and a summary of
changes actually would seem helpfull for discussing revised proposals;
in particular I'm not sure about the 4 related documents.
The only one I somewhat accidentally know that it has not changed is the
CPS (that's still the one dated 2010-12-30 which is clearly different
from the previous draft of 2010-11-01).
Is ripe-517 (dated 2011-03-07) the same as the previously referenced
draft?
What about the two (undated!) terms and conditions documents?

Regards,
