[arin-ppml] Is it time to start requirement to have IPv6 in place before receiving Section 8.5 transfered IPv4 addresses?

[Fernando Frediani]

Hello Albert

Initially it sounds interesting discussion to have.
My suggestion to you is to skip this part to just have an IPv6 
allocation as in my view does little or no much practical difference. 
Instead the second scenario that you mentioned seems much more 
reasonable at the stage we find ourselves and isn't anything unreachable 
anymore for most organizations.

Consider also that the time to discuss and have a proposal moved forward 
and implemented may fit well in time for this to be even more according 
to the second scenario you mention, so go straight for that.

Best regards
Fernando
