[address-policy-wg] IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy (2006-02)

People sending comments to this list with the clear intention of supporting the adoption of new policy should take their responsibilities as stewards of the Internet's resources a little more seriously in my opinion.

The proposed policy includes the following wording:

"To qualify for an initial allocation of IPv6 address space, an organisation must: ...

c) have a plan for making a reasonable number of /48 assignments within two years"

Define 'reasonable'.

Folks need to stop focussing on getting rid of the 200 /48 assignments rule and start focussing on developing good, useful policy for the region.

In the absence of a better alternative (which 2006-02 is emphatically not), then the current policy must suffice.

Regards,
Mat
