[ipv6-wg] IPv6 micro allocation or something else?

Dear All,
 	I did not see any answers except one from Bill Manning - who was 
supporting the 4. options.
 	So this means this is the accepted and RIPE reccomended method.
Basically allow allocating portable IPv6 address:
* root domain name system (DNS) server;
* global top level domain (gTLD) nameservers;
* country code TLD (ccTLDs) nameservers;

When the RIPE policy will reflect this changes?

Thanks Regards,
