[address-policy-wg] Guidance Requested: Reassigning Referenced ASNs

Dear address-policy-wg,

This has unintentionally gone out as a reply to Emilio's post
'[address-policy-wg] Cosmetic Surgery Project: Extended Review Period until 9
July on revised RIPE Policy document for IPv6 database objects' but was meant as
a response to Andrea's post '[address-policy-wg] Guidance Requested: Reassigning
Referenced ASNs'; my apologies.

Respectfully yours,

David Monosov
