I think so. In principle our policies are not made for individuals
accessing those resources, unless clearly justified (and in this case I
think a good justification is to be an organization).
Otherwise one of the missions of the RIRs, the adequate management of
address space (not a wasteful one), is not fulfilled.
The question is: Do we think, the proposed criteria are good for what we
intend to do with this policy ?
If the answer is "no" and the solution is "be an organization", then let add
* "Must be an organization"
So, if a "individual" meet the initial assignments criteria, he will need to
become an organization to qualify.
Please, think in the implications in terms of routing table if just a 10%
of the individuals in the world are able to get this resource. Is not only
about the addressing space, which probably could perfectly cope with that
for 100% of the world population if using /48, but what about the routing
slots ? Are you willing to pay then for a 10 times more expensive router in
your network (you will not have other chance, you are being forced to that
if the routing table grows at that point).
We need a balance here.
I suspect that, we will need a definition of "organization" including size.
Careful. My ISP currently has a payroll of 5 people. Thats a "small"
organisation - but I'm very much an ISP... (I think so - anyway :)
If there is an individual that wants PI space - I think the vibe is the
individual must become an organisation. I also think it would be
exceedingly simple to have more than 5 members in that organisation if
it were known that the criteria for getting PI space was set at "An
Organisation with 5 or more members" - so setting definitions could be
dangerous.
As you say - lets keep it simple....
I suspect that "Must be an organization" (without defining what an
organisation is) along with the other criteria will present an
appropriate prerequisite to applicants.
And are we not meeting folks against this policy here ?
Sorry - can you re-explain the above point?

Let us keep think simple and move forward.
