I’m sorry but that goes back to my previous e-mail – a request for an AS is a request for an AS and I don’t see how that should be related in any way to address space. What this achieves is the same level of fragmentation of the IPv6 space, but then in /32 blocks instead of /33, /34 and /35s. I don’t see what the wider community gains here. If you need more space, request a larger block. If your issue is that some people filter smaller than /32 announcements then try to solve that.
So what about is the current policy? You want to give some LIRs additional /32 because: "According to the IPv6 policy an IPv6 allocation must be announced as one prefix. Therefore, an organization operating four separate networks with one /32 IPv6 allocation cannot de-aggregate into for example a /34 route announcement per network." And here you are suggesting me to de-agradate my allocation which this proposal trying to avoid! Doesn't it looks like one can get what he or she wants but the other "can de-agraaate"?? Bartek
It’s not like the global IPv6 routing table is going to explode any time soon.
Personally I think IPv6 is going to be a runaway success by the time the DFZ hits 10,000 routes – filtering more specifics I can see the reason for, filtering smaller announcements I can not.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but allocation's goes to LIRs and not to customers. Moreover, AS'es are owned by clearly distinguished "entities". We could add those two things together and make that like: /32 for every AS owned by LIR (in simplification).
