Re: [Wg-ipv6-guide] (ToC11) Database Registration
Thanks for the confirmation Gerard.
I suppose we don't have technical problems with any of the options

...how shall we proceed from here?
May I suggest to discuss this issue together with the authority to
register assignments for sub-allocated blocks? I think they are
closely related issues and difficult to discuss one without the other.
