Re: [address-policy-wg] Revised 2006-01 set back to Discussion Phase (Provider Independent (PI) IPv6 Assignments for End User Organisations)

Hi,

Does this mean that the IPv6 PI assignment must be reclaimed by the RIPE NCC
if a company that runs an LIR and has an IPv6 allocation buys a company that
uses an IPv6 PI assignment?

Is this document available for review yet? It seems to form an integral part
of the proposed policy.

The phrase "a technical need demanding this or usage justified" is a bit
vague. It would be nice to have some kind of guide so that applicants and
the RIPE NCC have an idea of what the bar is (meant to be).

> Assignments will be allocated from a separate 'designated block' to facilitate

I'd suggest changing the word "allocated" to "taken".
