We have just finished merging the following three policies into one document: -ripe-512 "IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy" -ripe-451 "IPv6 Address Space Policy for Internet Exchange Points" -ripe-233 "IPv6 Addresses for Internet Root Servers in the RIPE Region" A draft of the new merged document is online and ready for community review at: <a href="http://www.ripe.net/ripe/updated-documents/">http://www.ripe.net/ripe/updated-documents/</a> We encourage you to read this merged version and send any comments to <a href="mailto:address-policy-wg@ripe.net">address-policy-wg@ripe.net</a> by 18 May 2011. Kind Regards, Emilio Madaio Policy Development Officer RIPE NCC </body> </html>
