IANA delegates IPv6 address space to RIRs
-----------------------------------------
On 14 July 1999, at the plenary session of IETF in Oslo, IANA announced
that on the basis of the "Provisional IPv6 Assignment and Allocation
Policy" Document, jointly developed by APNIC, ARIN, and the RIPE NCC, IANA
has delegated the initial ranges of IPv6 address space to the registries.
As part of the announcement, IANA released the following statement:

: After much discussion concerning the policy guidelines for the
