[address-policy-wg] 2015-03 New Policy Proposal (Assessment Criteria for IPv6 Initial Allocation Size)

All,

I'd like to strongly support the proposal as well.
To be fully honest here I've not yet encountered a single adress planning exercise where "we" (which included organizations with +300K users and 700K IP addresses in their IPAM database) didn't easily get along
with a /32. I hence initially shared the scepticism ("Rly? who needs more than a /29?") brought up at the mic and on the mailing list.

Still, I found the perspective laid out by Mathew convincing and in general I think RIPE policies (and their assumptions) shouldn't come into the way of organizations with flexible needs based on their individual environments.

Overall the criteria provided by John (Collins) can be a reasonable starting point for the development of criteria needed, but they'll probably need some refinement.

Best

Enno
