that when orgs walk in with documentation showing multiple downstream ISPs they are not getting sufficient space to assign each of those ISPs even a /32, let alone what it would take to meet the above definition of reasonable. Essentially the question becomes
‘why doesn’t ARIN have any service provider IPv6 allocations of order /20?’ The implication is an overly strict interpretation of the policy...</span></div>

<div>Tony - </div>
<div> </div>
<div> To my knowledge, ARIN hasn't denied any ISPs a reasonable-sized IPv6</div>
<div> block, if you consider it reasonable to issue according to adopted policy.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> You should make sure that folks coming to you are aware of the 2011-3</div>
<div> draft policy <<a href="https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2011_3.html">https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2011_3.html</a>> and </div>
<div> express support for it on the PPML mailing list (and during the PPM if at </div>
<div> all possible), as it makes changes to the allocation policy which would </div>
<div> likely address such concerns.</div>
