Bill, While I appreciate your support of this policy, I'm a little confused about your statement as this policy doesn't even deal with allocations of a single /48. In fact, the current smallest prefix this policy deals with would be a /40 (13 sites qualifies for a /40 - and in fact that number was deliberately chosen because of that).

I see little difference I see between this policy and simply saying that anyone willing to pay the fee for a /48 can have one. The only notable difference is that under this policy a registrant may wish to first hire a consultant sufficiently steeped in ARIN policy language to properly phrase and exhibit his supporting documentation. I approve of this and SUPPORT the draft as written. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin ................ her...@dirtside.comĀ b...@herrin.us Owner, Dirtside Systems .........
