The size of all allocations that we make is based on the information  
that the LIR supplies during the evaluation process and the IPv6  
Address Policy. The details of the information that our members supply  
to us during the evaluation of their requests are confidential and  
therefore we cannot disclose these.

We do ensure that all our members and their requests are treated in an  
impartial and fair way.

There have been several changes to the address policies since Free.fr  
received their allocation, but their request would not result in a  
different size block today.
