pTLA request for KEWLIO- review closes 30 April 2002

[Bob Fink]

6bone Folk,

My  previous email should have said KEWLIO, not CALADAN, so here is the 
corrected pTLA call:


KEWLIO has requested a pTLA allocation and I find their request fully 
compliant with RFC2772. The open review period for this will close 30 April 
2002. Please send your comments to me or the list.

Thanks,

Bob
