==> While discussing this issue, IPv6 Policy (especially "Initial allocation criteria" section ) is being clarified (see current discussion on global-v6@lists.apnic.net). Even though, it is said that the intention of this discussion is to clarify the IPv6 Policy and not to change it, does it make sense to consider adding explicitely the criterion above ("DNS ANYCASTING") as a new criterion to qualifiy for a /32 ?

I don't think that mixing this would be a good idea, for the following reasons: - I expect the IPv6-clarification exercise to take "quite a while" to converge (across the 4+ RIR constituencies) and I get the feeling that the DNS operators would really like to see a decision reasonably soon now :-) - it is not obvious to me that this special "rucksack"-provision has to go into a globally coordinated text - and for the formal reason that the mandate right now is to provide clarifications or improved wording for the existing v6 policiy. If and when during that exercise it turnes out that we should actually start revising the v6 policy (which would not surprise me :-), then we can reconsider... Wilfried.
