So let's discuss some policies to help the end consumer.  I, for one, 
spend my time and energy reading and writing this drivel because I have 
an overactive sense of altruism, or something, and enjoy it.  My 
employer doesn't particularly care if I do or don't.

One policy proposal that might help consumers is 2008-3, Community 
Networks IPv6 Allocation.  I think I support that proposal, since in my 
own work on mesh networks I can definitely see the need for PI space at 
the community network layer.  Does anyone else have any thoughts on 
whether adding a community networks criterion to get a PI /48 is a good 
idea?

What about shifting the minimum allocation size?  Should we reopen that 
discussion and consider /24 or /23 instead of /22?

I'm not sure what else the "little guys" need as far as policy.  Does 
anyone else have any other suggestions?
