I read it that IANA don't see RIR's needing more than a /12 in a 36 month period - thus a /12 would at least meet the RIR's needs for the next 36 months.
Seems like a much better idea than faffing about handing out a /23 every few months.
i'll be blunt. this apnic proposal is still the same geoff and paul land grab. with the doubling algorithm, the proposal would have all of ipv6 space to the rirs in a few short years. they failed to get all of fp=001 allocated to the rirs in a block, so have a new way to get it in a few pieces. given that fp=001 is supposed to last decades, and we don't know decades of internet governance (what once used to be called stewardship) reliability, this seems unwise. randy
