<div>Bill,</div><div><br></div><div>While I appreciate your support of this policy, I'm a little confused about your statement as this policy doesn't even deal with allocations of a single /48. In fact, the current smallest prefix this policy deals with would be a /40 (13 sites qualifies for a /40 - and in fact that number was deliberately chosen because of that).</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>GTG</div><div><br></div><div id="composer_signature"><div style="font-size:85%;color:#575757">Sent from my Samsung device</div></div><br><br>-------- Original message --------<br>From: William Herrin <bill@herrin.us> <br>Date: 2015-06-24 17:16 (GMT-05:00) <br>To: <br>Cc: arin-ppml@arin.net <br>Subject: Re: [arin-ppml] Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2015-1: Modification
