When those LIRs asked for extension to /29 they received a response from IPRAs, that they can extend to /29 *in total* as written in the policy.
The policy says:
"LIRs that hold one or more IPv6 allocations are able to request extension of these allocations up to a *total* of a /29 without providing further documentation."
Actually, I think the IPRAs are reading something in there that has not been the intention by the WG (and it should be obvious from the discussions that it wasn't, because the case "what about a LIR that has more than one /32?" was never discussed) For non-native speakers (like me), the sentence above is perfectly fine to be interpreted as "... extensions of *any of these* allocations up to a total of /29..." and not "... up to a total of a /29 across all IPv6 stock the LIR has". We've been there with the "80% utilization" in IPv4, where the IPRA interpretation was more strict than what the WG intended, and it seems that this is another of these cases... Anyway, to give clear guidance to the NCC, I think having Jan and Emilio draft new text, have this be cross-checked by the NCC for interpretation leeway, and then formally accept it via the PDP, is the right way forward.
