Application for pTLA from ICM-PL - review will close 21 May

[Bob Fink]

Per the request from Wojtek Sylwestrzak and Rafal Maszkowski, I'm opening a two week window for the review of their pTLA request. I will close this on 21 May 99. (Note this would be the second /28 pTLA assigned.)


Thanks,

Bob

>We are peering with a number of v4 ASes.
>We have adequate staff to maintain 6bone on 'production-like' level.

>In short: we are the Internet hub site of Poland.
