Hello,
 
My name is Ralph and i'm researching the options for IPv6 within my company. From previous contact with the ripe i've understood that there are 3 ways to get IPv6 ranges:
- ISP assigned, i don't like this option because of renumbering issues when transferring to a different ISP
- Ripe member, this way my organisation will become a member and can request own adresses based upon need
- PI assigned, coming (hopefully) this year
 
My company has several locations on several continents, which raises the following questions:
-If we would become a ripe member, how would we deal with IPv6 range requests outside the ripe "juristiction", like in north america?

-It is my understanding that the ripe member policy assigns /32sh and no /48sh which, from my standpoint, seems a bit unnecessary because there will be equal number of routing entries because we will require one range per location no matter the prefix. From what i've learned so far this could basically result in a /32 for a 100-user location which cannot be the goal, even though i might be stuck in IPv4 ways.
 
- Isn't it possible to get a /32 and allow us to divide it between our sites with /48sh (and allowing them to advertise /48sh globally)?
 
Sincerely,
Ralph Peeters
