[ipv6-wg] RIPE Policy vs IETF RFC

Hi all,

Thank you for your work on this Jordi, and to you Nathalie for reaching out
to the community to seek input and clarification. While I do not know the
ins and outs of the technical side of IPv6, I care enough about its
deployment worldwide and know enough about policy to understand that
incongruent policy -- either in practice or on paper -- can often create a
rather massive headache.

Best,
-Michael
