registry DB issues

[Bob Fink]

Kazu,

I have looked over your (JPNIC) plans for how, as a national registry, to 
interact with APNIC for IPv6 allocation to your cusomers. I think it is a 
good plan, and makes logical sense.

I hope that other national registries can so similar things around the world.


Thanks,

Bob
