    Viewpoint consistency: Insufficient evidence to assess consistency

    The author clearly opposes replacing established allocation terminology without strong justification, while the other supplied policy record is only an announcement and does not establish a personal position.

    Status field for inet6num objects

    Assessment: Consistent · The author opposes replacing established allocation terminology with delegate without a strong reason, citing established usage and implementation cost.

    Conditions: The objection is qualified and concerns the proposed terminology replacement.

    Policies for Transfer of 6bone Address Management Responsibilities to RIR

    Assessment: Insufficient evidence to assess consistency · The announcement of a presentation on behalf of the RIRs does not state the author’s support or opposition to the transfer policy.

    Status field for inet6num objects · Policies for Transfer of 6bone Address Management Responsibilities to RIR

    Assessment: Insufficient evidence to assess consistency · A clear qualified objection exists for the terminology proposal, but the supplied announcement provides no attributable position for the transfer policy.
