[ipv6-wg at ripe.net] New IPv6 Address Block Allocated to RIPE NCC

what IANA needs is an RFC where the IETF says something like:

"this given prefix (eg IPv6 addresses beginning with bits 001) are to 
be used for unicast IPv6."

How the LIRs get to tell IANA and the RIRs should partition the given 
space for real world deployment should be subject to architectural 
constraints and ISP business operations. It is not an IETF role.
