Dear Group,

I installed one server for AS112 here in our datacenter and willing to provide access to other providers here in Costa Rica too, I sent a email to 112 -at- root-servers.org to notify about this and didn't had any response and we were not listed either on the page.

We just need a little help with the IPv6 side as we have full dual stack connectivity on our network. 

What I have to do?

Best Regards to everyone.
