Re: [sig-policy] prop-057-v001: Proposal to change IPv6 initial allocation criteria



Hi Philip,


Great. Thanks for your input - I really appreciate it.

I agree about the route annoucement requirement. It's already a part of
the current criteria and we need something that ensures that the space
will actually be used.

Comments from others is also very welcome.
