[arin-ppml] Fwd: Draft Policy 2009-5: IPv6 Multiple Discrete Networks

[Scott Leibrand]

It looks like that was carried over from the IPv4 Multiple Discrete 
Networks policy (https://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html#four5).

If several smaller entities each need addresses for separate networks, 
they should apply independently as separate organizations.  If a single 
organization runs multiple discrete networks, they can't apply for space 
for each network independently, so this policy is needed to allow them 
to do so.

If this policy were applied to a consortium of smaller independent 
entities, then such entities could create such a consortium for the sole 
purpose of getting around the ARIN fee structure.
