[address-policy-wg] IPv6 PI policy implemented

I'm wondering. ARIN and AfriNIC assign PI space for end-sites. They both 
do /48 (ARIN also does a /48 as I remember correctly). Isn't the discussion 
in the RIPE area not getting a bit too long and taken over by events.

As an example, NATO can also just as easily apply for space from ARIN 
(although RIPE covers more of NATO's area of operation as it seems). 
Something similar would be true for many International customers interested 
in PI.

Just wondering... Shouldn't we just give up our strong feelings and face the 
fact that other bits of the world have already acted, just do it and 
coordinate a global route filter policy etc so that things actually work?
