Hi Philip, A working group was created to discuss allocation policies. This working group also discussede the initial allocation criteria as proposed in the current draft (with participation on the 6bone added as one criteria). The feedback was very positive, also regarding the slow start mechanism. We also received useful input regarding some of the parameters in the allocation criteria, for example 12 for the number of months within which IPv6 services will have to be provided and 42 :-) for the number of customers the ISP has to have in one of the other criteria (we'll probably round this up or down in the final document :-) I suggest to further discuss this when the new draft will be sent to the list in one of the next days.
