The primary work going on at this time to ready for IPv6 address allocation in the "Aggregatable Unicast" space is being done by the regional address registries (RIPE, ARIN and APNIC) with some comment and oversight by the IANA. 

The I-D just issued (see below) is the IETF's current input (at least IPng WG's input) to the registries, with the registries participation and input to it as well from the Stockholm RIPE meeting of several weeks ago.  This I-D now will have to go thru some process at the IAB/IESG/IETF to issue it as an RFC of some type for the IANA and registries use.

I doubt that the "Magaziner" efforts underway, and reported in the newest "whitepaper(?)" just released, will materially affect this process as this process seems consistent with it (at least the way I read it).

Subject: (IPng 5882) I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-ipngwg-tla-assignment-04.txt

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IPNG Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Proposed TLA and NLA Assignment Rules
	Author(s)	: B. Hinden
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ipngwg-tla-assignment-04.txt
	Pages		: 10
	Date		: 12-Jun-98
	
   This document proposes rules for Top-Level Aggregation Identifiers
   (TLA ID) and Next-Level Aggregation Identifiers (NLA ID) as defined
   in [AGGR].  These proposed rules apply to registries allocating TLA
   ID's and to organizations receiving TLA ID's.
   This proposal is intended as input from the IPng working group to the
   IANA and Registries.  It is not intended for any official IETF
   status.  Its content represents the result of extensive discussion
   between the IPng working group, IANA, and Registries.
