Very reasonable draft. - starting with a /12 is "big enough" for the near future (there are a couple of /20 allocation requests in the pipeline, but a /12 can fulfill 128 of them before reaching 50%) - adding individual bits, growing into the /6, ensures that the stuff stays aggregateable-by-region - *if* it should become obvious that a couple of special-case-blocks are required in the future (like 6to4's 2002::/16), this can be taken out of 2000::/6 or 3800::/5. - *if* a new RIR pops up in the not-so-far future, it might become necessary to split up the /6s into /7s or /8s, but this will not do any harm (after all: this is only *reserved*, and filled from the bottom - so until the first RIR fills up a /7, the second half of all /6s will still be completely untouched). Personally, I would tend to start with /8s (instead of /12s), but I know that this is way too radical for the conservative minds out there. Based on that, a /12 is a reasonable compromise.
