Application for pTLA from Dante/Terena/Quantum - review will close 8 June

[Bob Fink]

6bone Folk,

Per the request from Simon Nybroe (below), I'm opening a two week window for the review of a pTLA for QTP. I will close this on 8 June 99 (a little shy of 2 weeks given my scheduled departure for Vacation). 

I believe this is a very important step for v6 as it represents pan-European network connectivity via IPv6 with connections to 6REN participants via the 6TAP.

Note that this will be a /28 pTLA assignment.

Thanks, 

Bob
