[6bone] proposal for transfer of 6bone address management res ponsibilities to RIRs

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ]

I agree,

Bob is doing a very good job, and we need to support him.

I wish he is with us a long time, as much as possible !, but unfortunately life is as we all know ;-)

Regards,
Jordi

PS: Itojun, he is not so older, ok ? You can't say somebody is getting older when he still has more energy than most of us ;-)
