pTLA request for NL-BIT6 - review closes 28 February 2002

[Bob Fink]

6bone Folk,

NL-BIT6 has requested a pTLA allocation and I find their request fully 
compliant with RFC2772. The open review period for this will close 28 
February 2002. Please send your comments to me or the list.

>| additional services to an ever growing customer base, including the

>|
>|    4. The pTLA Applicant MUST commit to abide by the current 6Bone
>|       operational rules and policies as they exist at time of its
>|       application, and agree to abide by future 6Bone backbone
>|       operational rules and policies as they evolve by consensus of the
