> 5.8 Allocation for Early Adopters
> 
> 5.8.1 Waiver of criteria listed in 5.1.1 (d)
> 
> 	To promote the allocation of IPv6 space the requirement 
> to make 200
> 	/48 assignments within two years shall be waived for anyone
> 	requesting IPv6 space before Dec 31, 2004 or until this policy
> 	is amended.  In the event that this policy is amended the
> 	existing IPv6 space holders shall not be subject to new or
> 	waived criteria for a period of 10 years from their initial
> 	allocation date.
> 
> 5.8.2 Waiver of fees
> 
> 	a) To promote the allocation of IPv6 space all IPv6 related fees
> 	shall be waived until Dec 31, 2006 for anyone requesting and
> 	receiving space before Dec 31, 2004.  In the even that this
> 	policy is amended the existing IPv6 space holders shall
> 	under no circumstances be subject to waived or new fees until
> 	Dec 31, 2006.
> 
> 	b) For billing purposes fees will be due according to normal
> 	ARIN billing policies on Jan 1, 2007.  All early adopters

> 5.8.3 Micro Allocations
> 
> 	a) To promote the allocation and deployment of IPv6 all the
> 	criteria in 5.1.1 shall be waived to those requesting a /48
> 	micro allocation before Dec 31, 2004, or until this policy
> 	is changed.  If this policy is changed, current space holders
> 	shall not be subject to any new or waived criteria.
> 
> 	b) All fees shall be waived under the same rules listed in
> 	5.8.2.
> 
> 	c) Those receiving micro allocations shall not be allowed to
> 	make further allocations or assignments out of their /48.  It
> 	is intended for their internal use only.
> 
> 	d) When possible those receiving micro allocations shall
> 	return their allocation and receive a new /48 from their
> 	upstream provider (a LIR).  This is requested in a good faith
> 	manner until Jan 1, 2007 at which time all micro allocations
> 	granted under these waived criteria must be returned.
