With the acceptance of this proposal RIPE NCC will run a one-time operation to allocate an IPv6 block to every LIR that does not have any existing IPv6 holdings.
Under current IPv6 allocation policies, I understand that the allocation process goes like this:
lir: please give me a /32; i intend to assign IPv6 addresses.
ripe ncc: here you go.
In this light, 2008-02 is a very odd solution to a problem which - as far as I can tell - doesn't exist. But I might be tempted to support it if the RIPE NCC were to hand out a free packet of Smarties with every /32.
Following up on last week`s meeting, it seems that the current idea is to just tell the LIR's to go to ripe and request IPv6, which isn't a real policy change and more of a marketing effort. If this is the case, I don't think this belongs in this WG and probably should be moved to NCC-services-wg, any thoughts on that one ? Groet, MarcoH
