We don't really think that consensus has been reached yet. We have
discussed lot's of details at the mailing list, but the community at
large did not have a chance yet to approve a final proposal.

As chairpeople of two of the respective working groups, we asked the RIPE NCC
to schedule a slot at the next meeting in order to have a final
discussion regarding this very topic. We invite you to do a
presentation on the next meeting of what you think that the status of
the discussion is so far and to send a document to the mailing list
some time before the meeting that describes the proposed policy based
on the input from the discussions that we had on the mailing list.

From there, we the chairpeople can ask the RIPE community at the next
meeting whether they approve and possibly make some small adjustments
or whether we have to go back to the drawing board and need more
discussion.

We would like to ask you to suspend the proposed policy until we have
had a chance to ask the RIPE community for approval.

Meanwhile we suggest that discussion continues on the LIR-WG list.

Thanks,

Fearghas McKay, chairperson eix wg
David Kessens, chairperson ipv6 wg
