Re: new IPv6 policy draft - real soon now

[Kim Hubbard <]

I'll quickly summarize the IPv6 portion of the IP allocation policy WG held at
the ARIN member meeting and the discussion held during the general
membership meeting.

The latest proposed draft seems to be acceptable to everyone.  There was
some discussion
on the slow-start issue with one ARIN member wanting to receive the entire
/29 instead
of a /35.  The rest of the WG and membership seemed to agree that an
initial /35
would be okay.  It was made clear that even if only a /35 was initially
issued the
remainder of the /29 would be held in reserve for future allocations to the
organization.  It was also clarified that if an organization can justify an
initial
allocation of more than a /35 they would receive more.

The justification section of the document needed some numbers filled in so
our members 
made some recommendations.  

All in all it was a good discussion and interest.  As Mirjam said, you will see
the document withing a day or so.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Kim
