I wonder too about how this policy could be gamed. What happens if new (or existing) LIRs pretend to be IXPs to snatch extra v4 space they wouldn't otherwise get?
The IPRAs were very diligent enough to prevent this from happening when IXPs were allowed v6 PI, when all other organisations were not.
There was a clean definition written which has stood firm in later analysis in ap sessions.
I think this risk is well mitigated against.
OK. Thanks Andy. I raised this as a theoretical concern. So provided the IPRAs can keep a lid on potential abuse of the policy, that's (sort of) fine. That'll be "good enough" IMO. I don't have a strong objection to the proposal even though I still have some reservations.
