| Note that the plan and dates stated in the draft are only for discussion. 
| It is now up to the IETF open process to establish the actual plan and 
| timing.

I have read the document and I agree to all of your suggestions and
remarks. Note that repeat yourself once in the document:
> This document is intended to obsolete RFC 2471, "IPv6 Testing Address
> Allocation", December, 1998.  RFC 2471 will become historic.

About the dates, 7/2004 through 7/2006 seems to be quite a long time in
my opinion. I'd like to see 7/2005 as closing date, because one year of
deployment practice should be enough for most companies.

Perhaps when time progresses, we'll have a lot of best common practices
regarding IPv6 deployment and administration, so that it can be
considered a valid possibility for entities with an IPv6 deployment
plan which requires a TLA, to simply request one from their RIR.

In short: In 2005, I don't think anybody will need separated space to
experiment in. I'd like to see the closing date moved forward to July
2005.

groet,
Pim
