Dear all,
This policy proposal was prompted by the discussion at the last RIPE meeting, where the NCC brought up the issue that the IPv6 allocation policy talks about "organization" without ever defining what that is - "one LIR account", "one legal organization" (which can hold multiple LIR accounts), etc.
Indeed, I think it is worth clarifying.
Jordi volunteered to clean up the text, and here's the proposed changes
The diff is very clear, thanks Jordi for this. Very helpful.
Thus: feedback please.

- "the text matches the original intent as I have always understood the policy, and we should go there"
I am not sure what the original intent was. I would think nobody thought about the fact that an organisation can have multiple LIRs at the time the policy was accepted. Allowing a /29 per LIR instead of one per RIPE NCC member could be perceived as a "waste" of resources. However, I do not see any IPv6 scarcity coming up soon, and at the same time if it is justified, the organisation may get a block larger than a /29 even under the current version of the policy. Therefore I support the proposal due to that fact that it clarifies a possible ambiguity. Best regards, Janos
