> Evidence of meeting criteria
> 
> >> 1. Must have experience with IPv6 in the 6bone, at least as a leaf site,
> >>and preferably as an NLA transit under a pTLA.
> 
>   We have been experimenting with 6bone connectivity:
>   - leaf site (3FFE:0501:0412/48) under 6bone JP-pTLA since 1997.
>   - leaf site (3FFE:1200:3002/48) under DEC CA/US-pTLA since 1997.
>   - NLA network (3FFE:0503:/32) under 6bone JP-pTLA since December
>    1997.
> 
>   We have assigned one address prefix for multiple sites below our NLA and
> are now providing transit service for 6bone connectivity.
> 
>   We have already provided information about the NLA transit experiment
> (e.g., the registry of connection sites). The URL for this information is
> http://www.nttv6.net.
> 
> >> 2. Must have the ability and intent to provide "production-like" 6bone
> >> backbone service to provide a robust and operationally reliable 6bone 
> >> backbone.
> 
>   NTT already has an ISP business  division. Furthermore, in NTT  Software
> Laboratories we have been experimenting with 6bone connectivity. Therefore,
> NTT has the skills needed to provide a "production-like" 6bone backbone
> service.
> 
> >> 3. Must have a potential "user community" that would be served by becoming
> >> a pTLA, e.g., the requester is a major player in a region, country or focus
> >> of interest.
> 
>   NTT is a major player in Japan and therefore has a large potential user
> community.
> 
> >> 4. Must commit to abide by whatever the 6bone backbone operational rules
> >> and policies are (currently there are no formal ones, but the Alain Duran
> >> draft is a start in trying to define some).
> 
>   We will commit to abide by the 6bone backbone operational rules and
> policies.
