Marco, this is wonderful news. I'm delighted.

Your hard work was a major factor in achieving this outcome. You did an excellent job. Many people in the RIPE community won't realise just how challenging SG20 can be or what was needed to get this result. As a fellow traveller on the SG20 bus, I do know what you and the others had to do and am very grateful for those efforts. Well done!

You've done a great thing for RIPE, the NCC and the broader Internet community. 

Since our next meeting will be in Iceland, I think it would be a good idea to have a Viking funeral for the last paper copy of Y.IPv6RefModel.
