I know that IPv4 PIs are currently acquired through an ISP but I am suggesting that we stop this practice, and for IPv6 PI allocations, we only do them with a direct two-party contractual and commercial relationship between the PI holder and RIPE. > As for the whole non-routable question.

Nothing that RIPE does has any effect on routability. > The point some are trying to make is there are few LIR's that > can fully justify IPv6 PA space right now because they don't > have the customers. There is no customer requirement to get IPv6 PA space. > Perhaps the policy needs to change for the initial IPv6 PA so > new & existing LIR's can get IPv6 even if they have no customers. They already can do this. --Michael Dillon
