[arin-discuss] Size Categories for IPv6.

[Owen DeLong]

Aaron,
	We're talking about size category alignment for ISPs, not end-users.

	As such, the proposal I submitted in 2011.3 was to do the following:

	/36		X-small
	/32		Small

	I did not make suggestions on realigning the rest of the fee structure, but, now that I consider
it in light of the implications of 2011-3, I think it would make sense to set:

	/28		Medium
	/24		Large
	/20		X-Large
	/16+	XX-Large

This also seems to be closer in alignment to the rest of the policy related to nibble round ups for justification. Additionally, the /36 (as a new minimum allocation) would allow those in X-small or Small categories to remain in the same price category while also having appropriately sized v6 allocations.
