I don’t think putting strings on v6 is going help drive it’s implementation.<BR>

I fear the way this is written may be confusing. Section 6.5.1.1 is at<BR>
<a href="https://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html#six511">https://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html#six511</a><BR>
<BR>
If these changes were made, I believe the section would then read:<BR>
<BR>
6.5.1.1. Initial allocation criteria<BR>
<BR>
To qualify for an initial allocation of IPv6 address space, an<BR>
organization must:<BR>
<BR>
1. be an LIR;<BR>
2. not be an end site;<BR>
3. plan to provide IPv6 connectivity to organizations to which it<BR>
will assign IPv6 address space.<BR>
<BR>
I would like to make two comments as a result.<BR>
<BR>
Criteria #1 doesn't make a lot of sense. If you were a new participant<BR>
(no IPv4 or IPv6 resources at all) and going only for IPv6 then you<BR>
aren't an LIR yet, indeed, you are trying to become one. I think,<BR>
but cannot be sure, that the LIR reference has to do with fee/membership<BR>
structures of other RIR's.<BR>
<BR>
The result of this policy is basically you get an allocation if you<BR>
want one and can show you will provide IPv6 to another entity and<BR>
are willing to pay the fees. This is too loose of a standard.<BR>
While I believe we should be giving out IPv6 relatively easily and<BR>
there is no danger in running out of the numbers that does not mean<BR>
we don't still have the issue of routing slots, staff to deal with<BR>
the number of requests, and other issues.<BR>
<BR>
To that end, I would like to suggest a new criteria:<BR>
<BR>
- Plan to announce the IPv6 address space provided to at least<BR>
two other autonomous systems.<BR>
<BR>
Basically, setting the bar at being multi-homed to BGP speaking<BR>
networks. No number of sites requirement, you only need 1 customer<BR>
to meet the customer requirement.<BR>
