6bone Folk,

I have corrected a typo in this version and having heard no other comments 
will now forward it for BCP processing.

>The 6bone was established in 1996 by the IETF as an IPv6 Testbed
>network to enable various IPv6 testing as well as to assist in the
>transitioning of IPv6 into the Internet. It operates under the IPv6
>address allocation 3FFE::/16 from RFC 2471. As IPv6 is beginning its
>production deployment it is appropriate to plan for the phaseout of

>the 6bone and its address allocation on the assumption that the IETF
>is the appropriate place to determine this.
>This document is intended to obsolete RFC 2471, 'IPv6 Testing Address
>Allocation', December, 1998.  RFC 2471 will become historic.
