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

Hi Pekka,

Sorry, but I can't agree with this.

I provided the example of small ISPs, that have less than 200 customers for IPv4. So are we limiting those small ISPs (that may have a complete own infrastructure, even international peerings/links, etc.) and their customers from using IPv6 ?

Some of this small ISPs survive because they provide service to a reduced set of companies, but BIG companies ... So the size of the ISP doesn't mean necessarily that the addressing space they may need is not big !

Just look to other RIRs ...

Regards,
Jordi
