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

=> unfortunately this is not true (or still false).

   It means keeping the cost low to reflect actual cost of the service 
   provided, which for the 6bone would be less than normal IPv4 allocation 
   activity. However, the fee would have to be specific to the RIR as all the 
   RIRs have their different rules/policies/procedures/culture/...
   
=> I believe you (Bob and Joao) are not talking about the same thing
and we (6bone community) shall fall into the "low fee" problem if
we agree to apply the transfer proposal.
BTW the enterprise/small LIR fees at 1800 euros per year (far more
than for a DNS entry for instance, i.e., far too much for the 6bone
community).
