[ipv6-wg at ripe.net] FW: [arin-council] IANA to RIR IPv6Allocation

Jeroen,

Before you comments about the ARIN policy process I suggest you read:

http://www.arin.net/policy/ipep.html

I think you will find two things that are immediately clear to even the
casual observer:

1.  This statement on the ppml is just the beginning of the process.  It was
posted by a member of the ARIN AC as an individual member and does not
represent any discussion by the AC in regards to this policy.  At this point
it is not even a formal policy proposal that will be taken up for discussion
at the ARIN meeting in Reston in October.

2.  The next step in the process is for this proposal and any others to be
discussed by the AC as described in the policy proposal document.  I will
not go any further in describing the process as it is available for your
reading at the url I provided.

Again I suggest you read it and I would be glad to know how this process
does not promote an open discussion on any policy in the ARIN region.  Your
specific comments will be most welcome.

Lastly, I invite you to participate in the discussion on the ARIN ppml.
Your participation and that of anyone, anywhere in the world is most
welcome.  One does not need to be a member of ARIN to participate.  Of
course the ARIN meeting is an open meeting.  It is open to anyone in the
world who wishes to participate in the policy process.

Ray
