Following up on last week`s meeting, it seems that the current idea is  
to just tell the LIR's to go to ripe and request IPv6, which isn't a  
real policy change and more of a marketing effort.

If this is the case, I don't think this belongs in this WG and  
probably should be moved to NCC-services-wg, any thoughts on that one ?
