Hi Tobias, As I just said, we have been strongly encouraged to do small steps …. My personal preference will be a single big proposal with all the changes, but it seems is not good for the discussion (even if we sucesfully did multiple times). Anyway, I understood from Marco presentation in the previous meeting, that this is being already managed assuming that in those cases, you need to justify the need, which is not the case for the initial allocation. Happy to be corrected here and to incorporate some text for that if needed in our follow up proposal. Regards, Jordi @jordipalet

I see in the new policy text, this was added to 5.7: """[one or more IPv6 allocations] that were originally issued directly by the RIPE NCC as a single prefix may request [embiggening]""".
Can the authors explain why this text was added?
I am not the authors, but I assume that this is to prevent an entity holding a /32 from a /29 having that extended to /28 not, i.e., creating a new full- size allocation out of a single /32.
I would argue, though, that given the recent notes on v6 hoarding (and in the same spirit as that restriction) the policy should also include a limit to one allocation for which this can be done per LIR; And ideally, some mechanic limiting abuse of this by people holding _a lot_ of initial allocations.
