Summary: Fixed Boundary (/29) Assignments

Dear LIR-WG,

Here is an attempt to summarise the recent discussions on this mailing
list regarding possible fixed size assignments.

Following a review of the comments, it looks like the majority does
not believe that a special assignment policy is needed. Most
contributors agreed that there is no need to make a distinction in
policy relating to different access methods. All assignments should be
made on actual needs and according to the current IP address policies.

The comments showed concerns about the administrative procedures
required for these kinds of assignments. However, it was felt that
these addresses need to be accounted for in some way. A possible way
forward would be to initiate discussion surrounding the set of
information necessary to justify these assignments while providing an
efficient way for the LIRs to provide services to their customers.

I realise that I did not touch on every aspect of the discussion but I
hope that this is a fair summary in order for you to move forward
Looking forward to a continuation of this debate.

Best Regards,
