* GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT OF REVISED IPv6 ADDRESS POLICY

A new mailing list has been established to co-ordinate global policy 
discussions on the development of a revised IPv6 addressing policy to 
replace the "Provisional IPv6 assignment and allocation policy document". 
The list name is <global-v6 at lists.apnic.net>.

Although this list is hosted by APNIC, it is open to all members of  the 
global Internet community with an interest in IPv6 address policy. 
Subscription information is available at:

http://www.apnic.net/net_comm/lists/

Archives of discussions are available at:

http://www.apnic.net/mailing-lists/global-v6

--------------

APNIC encourages all interested parties to subscribe to these lists and 
contribute to the development of important global address policy.

Kind regards,

Anne Lord
