This could be changed, of course, if we ("the RIPE policy making community") agree that this is a desireable goal. Let me ask you a question, though. What good is non-routeable PI (except for the IXP peering mesh)? So what good is it to have a policy that hands out PI without caring for routing? (In the IPv4 world, as you might know, there has a task force been formed to work on the PI policy - this conflict being one of the reasons behind) Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- Total number of prefixes smaller than registry allocations: 57021 (57147) SpaceNet AG Mail: netmaster at Space.Net Joseph-Dollinger-Bogen 14 Tel : +49-89-32356-0 80807 Muenchen Fax : +49-89-32356-299
