[ipv6-wg] RIPE NCC Receives Additional /12 IPv6 Allocation from IANA

Hi Mat,

Thanks for your kind words.

And you are of course right. I'll change that in the article and refer
back to your comment if you don't mind. And thanks for helping with both
the IPv6 Day and the IPv6 Launch :-)

Regards,
Mirjam
