[arin-ppml] Alternative to 2009-7.

[Leo Bicknell]

As discussed today, the current IPv6 policy uses a criteria of "200
sites" as the threshold to receive IPv6 address space.  Also polled
was a 100 site requirement.

Looking back at the IPv4 requirements (which are at
https://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html#four22), there are basically
two cases.

Single Homed:

  You must show efficient utilization (80%) of a /20 from your upstream.
  A /20 is 4096 IP's, and 80% of that is 3277 IP's in use.

Multi Homed:

  For a /22 (the smallest) you must show efficient utilization of a /23,
  or 512 IP's, and 80% of that would be 410 IP's in use.

To that end, I would suggest replacing a requirement for 200 sites
with a requirement that:

 - If single homed, demonstrate the ISP will connect at least 3277
   devices.
 - If multi homed, demonstrate the ISP will connect at least 410
   devices.

The idea is to have essentially the same requirement for a brand
new, IPv6 only ISP as there is today for a brand new IPv4 only ISP.
This would retain the "be an existing ISP" as a simpler mechanism
for someone who is already an IPv4 ISP to transition to dual-stack
or IPv6 only.
