I don't know if it has been discussed here earlier or if it was in another context.
I think it'd be of interest to standardize a way of "exposing" part of internal IPv6 policy to the rest of the world. What I'd like to achieve is the following:
Being able to expose to others who owns what IPs, if it's /128 per customer, /64, /56 or something else and if it's an end-user device (mobile phone or alike), a household, a company or some other way of showing approximate amount of users within the IP space.
If the IP space is allocated on a dynamic way (minutes/hours), semi-dynamic (weeks/months of customer usually having the same IP) or static ("never" changes), perhaps even having a "last-changed" time available.
Exposing geographical information of the customers in the IP space, preferrably with the standard allowing for both administrative (country/state/city) and coordinate information.
I would also like this to be multi-level, so if an ISP is handed a /32, they can hand out a /48 and say "this /48 is for a company" and then ALSO subdelegate this to the company so the company can provide more information. External parties should be able to decide which level(s) they want to trust.
Does this sound like madness or something that might be of use? What WG might be best suited to bring this idea to?
