There are a number of LIRs who received a /32 in the past who later
realise that they might have qualified for a larger initial allocation.
We allow these LIRs to return their /32 and then evaluate their request
based on the data they submit.

In the case that these LIRs do not want to return that /32, the normal
IPv6 additional allocation policy applies and we will allocate them more
space if and when they qualify under that policy. In practice this means
that their existing /32 has to be used up to the HD-ratio.

We presented this at RIPE 62 in the 'Feedback from RIPE NCC Registration
Services'.
