[ppml] Summary of IPv6 assignment proposals

[Howard, W. Lee]

According to http://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/proposal_archive.html,
there 
are three proposals related to IPv6 assignments for non-LIRs which are 
currently under consideration.  In order to adopt a policy, we have to
have 
consensus.  Roughly:

Proposal 2005-1 would say: if you're not an IPv6 LIR, and qualify for an
IPv4 
direct assignment, you can have a /48 (or larger, if needed).

Proposal 2005-8 would say: if you're not an LIR, get your IPv6 from your
LIR 
(and recommendations on what the LIR should assign).

Proposal 2006-4 would say: if you're not an LIR, and you're multihomed,
and 
have used 90% of a directly-assigned IPv4 /19, you can have a /48.  If
you 
use 50% of your /64s or /48s, you can have then next bit.  If you need
more 
than a /44, you're automatically an LIR.

The question for you, as a member of the public [1], is which of these 
proposals ARIN should adopt, if any.  If you like the direction of a
proposal, 
but don't like some part of it, consider whether your concern means you 
withhold support, or if it should be adopted and modified later.  Then,
if
you haven't already said it, email your response to this list, or to the
AC 
member of your choice [2], or at least speak up at the Public Policy 
Meeting [3].  The ARIN Advisory Council will judge consensus based on
list 
activity and comments at the meeting.


This message is not sponsored by ARIN.  I just can't tell who is in 
favor of what.
