My preference lies in making the policies a lot stricter, and actively verifying current delegations. I see a lot of ASN's requested just for fun with no real motive behind it. Therefore I also agree with daniel that there is not really a problem with the 1 ASN == 1 IPv6 Prefix. -- Cliff Albert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
