6bone Folk,

NECTEC-TH has requested a pTLA allocation and I find their request fully 
compliant with RFC2772. The open review period for this will close 22 
January 2003. Please send your comments to me or the list.

>===============================================
>7. Guidelines for 6Bone pTLA sites
>
>    The following rules apply to qualify for a 6Bone pTLA allocation. It
>    should be recognized that holders of 6Bone pTLA allocations are
>    expected to provide production quality backbone network services for
>    the 6Bone.
>
>    1. The pTLA Applicant must have a minimum of three (3) months
>       qualifying experience as a 6Bone end-site or pNLA transit.  During
>       the entire qualifying period the Applicant must be operationally
>       providing the following:
>
>=>      Our testbed's connected to 6bone and launched since 9 August 2002.
>
>       a. Fully maintained, up to date, 6Bone Registry entries for their
>          ipv6-site inet6num, mntner, and person objects, including each
>          tunnel that the Applicant has.

>       b. Fully maintained, and reliable, BGP4+ peering and connectivity
>          between the Applicant's boundary router and the appropriate
>          connection point into the 6Bone. This router must be IPv6
>          pingable. This criteria is judged by members of the 6Bone
>          Operations Group at the time of the Applicant's pTLA request.
