Re: The list of current Issues in IPv6 Policy

Its been my _personal_ view that this is not explicitly covered in the current
IPv6 policy, but when I search through the text the precise words about
the use of the address space on the public Internet are missing.

So when I read the V6 policy document and apply it to your example,
I'm not sure I can see a match.
