Bob, I agree, but at the same time, we are talking about loosing the use of
a large address space. Care should be taken to make sure that the owner has
the chance to respond.

To me, 2 weeks email sent to a mailing list is not fair. Because:
- one might watch the 6bone mailing list once a while
- he might be on vacation. (Many continue to read personal email but would
delay any mailing list emails during vacation)
- ...

So I think should give them more time (1 month?) and send the email to all
the contacts attached to the 6bone object in the registry.

Regards, Marc.
