Does anybody know how to unsubscribe?
I've tried a couple of times without success.

I think this is going in the right direction, but I think it might go
too
far. I completely agree that more radical thinking is needed in the IPv6
world because addresses simply are not scarce and irrational rationing
will
cost the community more than any conceivable benefit.

Specifically, I agree that:

1) It is largely senseless to have policies for small allocations from
an
ISP to their single-homed end users. There is simply no reason to care.
I
think we pretty much all already agree that this is so at the /48 level.

2) Routing slots are expensive, not address space. With the huge problem
of
address space conservation removed, we should be able to do a much
better
job at conserving routing slots.

3) IPv6 allocation can be based on foreseeable need for a decade. This
means
both from regional registries to LIRs and from LIRs to customers.

But I disagree strongly that a hard and fast "one allocation" rule makes
sense. I also do not agree that you can have a need-based assignment
policy
without any rules for what constitutes need. There will have to be
additional allocations and that means that sub-allocations will have to
be
reviewed. I don't think you can get around that.
