The AOAC met on March 10 and 24, 2010. On March 10, John Moore led the AOAC in a discussion of the IPv6 anonymization policy that the NTAC had previously endorsed. On March 24, the AOAC endorsed the policy. The AOAC also heard an update on the National Broadband Plan and the NTIA BTOP proposal submitted by Internet2 and NLR.
