IPv6 Across Europe starting in ScottLand

[bound@zk3.dec.com]

I will help Alex (below) with the proposal.  I will make sure our 6bone
charter and other parts are in the proposal.

OK we have a proposal via Jun Murai in Asia and several potentials in
Europe.

What about the U.S?  How do we get this started?  Do we need to 
request money for ISI or Lawerence at Berkeley?  ????   How do we do
that?  

How about if we send mail to V.P. Al Gore and Senator Patrick Lehaey? I am
not kidding?????????????

Mike Carlton?  Whats the word at ISI???????????

Is it time to tell the implementors list about us yet?

We need a list of implementations people can use to get started?

I have been asked to put forward a proposal to utilise a new network
to develop an internet for a primarily business market. It will
initially be city based (probably Aberdeen, Scotland) but within
months be connected to other new networks and it is hoped will be
Europe wide by the end of the year. Funding for this network will 
be partly coming from national and European government.

For reasons of their own they do not wish the network to utilise
the existing Internet (except through the occasional controlled
gateway). 

When deciding for a protocol for this network it really needs to
be IP based as it has proved itself over the past 25 years to be
scalable and reliable. I have suggested that this network would 
be an ideal opportunity to run a fully compliant IPv6 network.
This way we have all the facilities that business would like to
utilise such as security and service level (bandwidth) guarantees
& allocation are made available. 

Also we feel it would be of great interest to software and 
hardware developers of this new protocol to have a real life 
testbed for their new products. 

This is the reason for this e-mail. Would you be interested, in
principle, to supporting such a venture? Before I send the 
proposal it would be good to get an indication of the interest
from Internet businesses to support an International IPv6 network.
An indication of the products you will have avaiable for
distribution or test would be useful as well as an indication of 
how you think you may be able to help.

Thankyou for your time,

Alex Clark
