Re: [sig-policy] prop-033-v001 End site allocation policy for IPv6
few comments from our members.
Since it is a little long, I've arranged them in ppt slides:
http://www.apnic.net/meetings/22/docs/policy-pres-okutani-v6-assignment-jp.ppt
May I request for a few minutes of time at the Policy SIG session to
present them?
