[ppml] Version think... was: alternative to 2005-1

[Glenn Wiltse]

   I have broader objections.  As stated elsewhere...

In general I don't think creating IPv6 policy based on IPv4 policy
requirements is a good idea.

I am not convinced it's a good idea to give IPv6-PI space to any 
orginization that can not show a imediate need for more then a single /48.

I don't like the non-exsistant description of just exactly how a 
originization would ever qualify for more then a single /48. This
seems to give ARIN staff nearly unlimited discretion as to what is
acceptable distribution of /64s within a orgization, and takes it
out of the hands of public policy groups.

I'm not convinced that current routing protocols will handle wide spread 
use of /48 PI assignments. It seems to me that if ARIN passes this type of 
policy, it is in effect forcing the internet community as a whole, to deal 
with the consequences of such assignments. I'm not sure it's ARIN's place 
to force such a showdown.

  Perhaps I would feel better about such things, if all RIRs passed 
simmilar policys simultainously... I just don't feel like ARIN should be 
the trend setter with what I feel is a very liberal policy of giving out 
/48 sized blocks of IPv6-PI space. However I don't think you could gain 
anything aproaching consensus in the world wide community for 2005-1 as 
it's currently written.

If 2005-1 passes at ARIN XVII, I feel it will be largely because people 
may simply say... 'we must pass something with regard to IPv6 PI space'.
I would seriouly hate to think that we start adopting policy simply 
because we couldn't come up with something better.
