Support as written (amended with Shall).

As a follow up to Owen, clarity is important.
I urge those who do not support it as written (amended with Shall)
to also note if they would support it without the shall amendment.


Also as a separate question to supporting the proposal
is if the process is supported.

Can the PPM chair call separate questions?
Yes.

Can the Shepherd / AC make (minor) text changes after the 30 day freeze?
Yes.

Was there adequate discussion of the change on list and at the meeting?
Yes.

>> Current ARIN policy has different WHOIS directory registration

>> more work in the case of IPv6 than is the case for IPv4. There is no
>> technical or policy rationale for the disparity, which could serve as a
>> deterrent to more rapid IPv6 adoption. The purpose of this proposal is to
>> eliminate the disparity and corresponding adverse consequences.

>> Author Comments:
>>
>> IPv6 should not be more burdensome than the equivalent IPv4 network size.
>> Currently, assignments of /29 or more of IPv4 space (8 addresses) require
>> registration. The greatest majority of ISP customers who have assignments
>> of IPv4 space are of a single IPv4 address which do not trigger any ARIN
>> registration requirement when using IPv4. This is NOT true when these same
>> exact customers use IPv6, as assignments of /64 or more of IPv6 space
>> require registration. Beginning with RFC 3177, it has been standard
>> practice to assign a minimum assignment of /64 to every customer end user
>> site, and less is never used. This means that ALL IPv6 assignments,
>> including those customers that only use a single IPv4 address must be
>> registered with ARIN if they are given the minimum assignment of /64 of
>> IPv6 space. This additional effort may prevent ISP's from giving IPv6
>> addresses because of the additional expense of registering those addresses
>> with ARIN, which is not required for IPv4. The administrative burden of
>> 100% customer registration of IPv6 customers is unreasonable, when such is
>> not required for those customers receiving only IPv4 connections.
