[address-policy-wg] IPv6 Policy Clarification - Initial allocation criteria "d)"

Hi Gert,

Because in my opinion, we should not make today any distinction in what the ISP is committing to (in terms of number of customers) to deploy IPv6, same way we don't have this rational with IPv4.

Is just IP !, and moreover, we should facilitate the move to IPv6. Furthermore, if an IPv4 LIR/ISP (not end user) is requesting IPv6, not ANY more questions should be asked. If he doesn't route it within a "normal" time frame (5 years, whatever years, or what the market trend self-defines), then RIPE can always claim back the prefix, exactly the same as for IPv4. Right ?

As I commented already in one of my previous emails, I will just give a /32 to every LIR/ISP (not end user) unless:
1) He explicitly states "I'm not going to use it" 
    or
2) He request something bigger and properly justify it.

I agree that if a bigger than /32 prefix is requested, then we should make sure if this make sense.

Regards,
Jordi
