So let's discuss some policies to help the end consumer. I, for one,<br>
spend my time and energy reading and writing this drivel because I have<br>
an overactive sense of altruism, or something, and enjoy it. My<br>
employer doesn't particularly care if I do or don't.<br>
<br>
One policy proposal that might help consumers is 2008-3, Community<br>
Networks IPv6 Allocation. I think I support that proposal, since in my<br>
own work on mesh networks I can definitely see the need for PI space at<br>
the community network layer. Does anyone else have any thoughts on<br>
whether adding a community networks criterion to get a PI /48 is a good<br>
idea?<br>
<br>
What about shifting the minimum allocation size? Should we reopen that<br>
discussion and consider /24 or /23 instead of /22?<br>
<br>
I'm not sure what else the "little guys" need as far as policy. Does<br>
anyone else have any other suggestions?<br>
<br>
