* 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@localhost.

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

APNIC has established the global list.  Hopefully you will see an
announcement from RIPE NCC shortly.
