Howdy, I didn't see any feedback on the draft policy rewriting section 6.5, so I want to step back and solicit your opinions on what ARIN's IPv6 policies should become. I'm going to ask some questions and break them into separate message threads so that they can be followed separately according to your interest.
The question for this thread is: What limits, if any, should be placed on an organization's ability to get IPv6 addresses from ARIN? Should they have to be for use on the Internet with off-Internet uses expected to use something like ULA? Or are off-Internet uses just as qualified as Internet uses? Should they have to follow an addressing plan which supports hierarchical aggregation? Or is that a network engineering question into which ARIN should not pry? Should sub-sub-allocations be restricted (i.e. if an external org needs to allocate addresses to yet another org, they have to get their IP addresses from ARIN instead of from you)? For example, NRPM 6.5.2.1e says that any ISP customer who needs more addresses than a /32 must get their IPv6 addresses directly from ARIN. Should minimum allocations be set based on the registrant's IPv4 holdings? For example, NRPM 6.5.2.1g says ISPs are not allowed to have a longer prefix than /36 unless they have no more than a single IPv4 /24. Are there any other advisabile limits on who should be able to get IPv6 addresses? Any existing limits that should be changed or done away with? Your views are respectfully requested.
