As a first attempt: 1. Define a list of interconnect points (NAPS/interconnect exchanges) This would be fairly strict with only the main interconnect points in each country qualifying. 2. Any entity wanting an allocation must interconnect IPV6 at more than N of these points (and be an LIR of course) to qualify for an allocation. I don't know how the number of allocations would vary with N but a guess is that N=2 would be a reasonable number. Chris Cain
