[arin-ppml] Policy Proposal: Open Access To IPv6

[Michael K. Smith]

Hello All:

I am in favor of this.  I've been following the comments in the various
threads and subthreads, and would add only this:

- There is at least one major transit provider that will accept nothing more
specific than a /32.
- If we continue to inhibit providers' ability to get a /32, they may have
reachability issues.
- The v6 space is incredibly large.  Really.  What do we really gain from
limiting some people to a /48?

Mike
