With the acceptance of this proposal RIPE NCC will run a one-time operation to allocate an IPv6 block to every LIR that does not have any existing IPv6 holdings.
Under current IPv6 allocation policies, I understand that the allocation process goes like this: lir: please give me a /32; i intend to assign IPv6 addresses. ripe ncc: here you go. In this light, 2008-02 is a very odd solution to a problem which - as far as I can tell - doesn't exist. But I might be tempted to support it if the RIPE NCC were to hand out a free packet of Smarties with every /32. Nick
