[address-policy-wg] RE: [policy-announce] 2009-06 New Policy Proposal (Removing Routing Requirements from the IPv6 Address Allocation Policy)

Nick, just because there is the word "private". Why should RIPE or some other organization (including mine) provide the registration and supporting service (for example - uniqueness) for PRIVATE networks? If a company wants to use interconnection with other companies - it is their PRIVATE deal. And they should use their PRIVATE means for achieving that!

from my other mail to this mailing list:

"- just because an organisation hasn't announced an ipv6 prefix on the 
Internet-with-a-capital-I[*], that doesn't mean they aren't using the 
address space for other entirely valid purposes."

Frederic, can you please explain why a LIR which:

1. requires an ipv6 allocation for use on a private network
2. meets all the other requirements of the IPv6 address allocation policy
3. requires unique addresses (e.g. interconnecting with other private ipv6 
networks)

... shouldn't be granted a RIPE IPv6 allocation?

Or are you trying to say that there is only a single valid IPv6 network in 
the world?
