Policy proposal 2016-04, "IPv6 Sub-assignment Clarification" is now in the Review Phase.
I am neither speaking for or against the proposal but would like to ask to a question to clarify my understanding. The proposal states: "Although the IPv6 address space is huge, it's still finite. Users only needing a /48 (or less) for their organisation would also block a full /29 prefix when forced to become LIR which seems unproportioned." But some years ago, the RIPE NCC stated that it was using a bisection approach to allocate from its /12: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/address-policy-wg/2011-July/006176.h... Is that still the case and if it is, it would be good to understand how each new /32 allocation blocks a /29. I had understood that defined reservations were no longer necessary for new allocations because of the changed approach to allocating address space. Kind regards, Leo Vegoda
