A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories.

	Title		: An IPv6 Geographic

        This document defines an IPv6 Geographic global unicast address 
        format for use in the Internet.  The address format defined in this 
        document is consistent with the IPv6 Protocol [1] and the "IPv6 
        Addressing Architecture" [2].  It is designed to facilitate scalable 
        Internet routing when sites attach to multiple service providers, by 
        using a prefix based on a geographic reference to the site. A 
        natural byproduct of this address allocation mechanism is that all 
        addresses are fixed allowing sites to change providers at will 
        without requiring their network to renumber.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
