% If my memory is correct, the purpose of a pTLA is to experiment being an
% IPv6 ISP, which includes having some "customers". If someone has not
% announced their prefix for months, it means they don't provide IPv6
% connectivity to anybody and that tells me that they don't do enough in
% order to justify a pTLA.
% 
% There have been too many people that got a pTLA as a placeholder for
% portable address space and I agree that we should reclaim pTLAs from
% people that don't use them.

	Your memory does not match mine. A pTLA is for experimenting
	(getting comfortable) with IPv6.  There was no intimation that
	these delegations required "ISPness".

	Your insinuations wrt folks that received pTLA delegations is
	disengenious at best. You might be wise to back your assertions
	with facts, on the list.
