For IPv6, on the other hand, a supernational registry can only get a single allocation, irrespective of its size and contributions to the NCC. I don't recall this policy change being discussed in the RIPE policy making forum (the LIR WG) being being put in place by the NCC for the then interim IPv6 policy.
Which is why I brought the discussion to the forum :)
I am aware that there are few supernational registries and that they are a pain for the RIPE NCC but this policyy change seems to work against the aggregation principles we need to follow if we're not going to have the routing table growth rate we've seen with IPv4.
We have had the discussion with RIPE NCC about the usefulness of a Supernational-LIR, and for us this makes things alot easier. In large corporations, it's simply easier to get one bill and one contact, than as in our case - 14 invocies... - kurtis -
