That was not changed yet, as I'm still waiting for more folks to respond.

The update was only for the removal of the IPv4 portion, as I mentioned in my 
previous email.

Assignment Registration requirements between IPv4 and IPv6

[External Email]

It looks like /60 still needs to be changed to /56 to reflect the consensus on 
PPML. Or was there some reason not to do that (yet)?
