               Draft IPv6 Policy Document - Call for Comments
          *******************************************************

APNIC is pleased to make available the following Draft "IPv6 Assignment 
and Allocation Policy Document" for your information. This document 
(http://www.apnic.net/ipv6draft.html) is the result of a collaborative 
effort of all the Regional Internet Registries (APNIC, ARIN and RIPE) 
and aims to provide a responsible, globally consistent framework for the
management of IPv6 address space.

IPv6 address space is a public resource and, therefore, its management
involves developing policies which achieve the best possible balance of the
needs of all members of the Internet community. APNIC encourages you, as a
member of the Internet community, to read this document and consider its
implications. We invite you to make any comments you feel would be
constructive to the development of a further draft.

Please note that for use within the Asia-Pacific region, APNIC would
propose to adapt this document to ensure consistency with the
newly-developed policy document "Policies for Address Space Management 
in the Asia Pacific Region", which has just been released in draft form
<http://www.apnic.net/policydraft.html>.  In such an adaptation however, 
the basic global principles and procedures relating to IPv6
allocation and assignment would remain as they are described here.

Please address your comments to the <ipv6-registry@apnic.net>  mailing list
(subscribe via majordomo@apnic.net>). If, however, you would like to make
comments privately, please email Anne Lord <anne@apnic.net> .

The deadline for comments to be considered for the next draft of the
document is the 17th of February 1999.
