[6bone] 6bone phaseout planning announcement

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ]

Hi Bob, all,

After a quick read of the draft my thoughts are:

1) I agree in the main aspects of the process, as we already discussed this some time ago.
2) It seems to be that July 1st 2006 is reasonable for the final close-down.
3) It seems to me that we must allocate pTLAs until January 1st 2006 (6 months can still do a lot for "last minute" newcomers).
4) I'm missing something that we discussed, relative to facilities from the RIRs to allocate production space to pTLA owners, let's
say starting on July 1st 2004 (to facilitate the transition and encourage it).

I understand that this can kick-off the discussion at least for the dates, as you point in your email ;-) and hope is useful.

Regards,
Jordi
