Arano-san,

First I'd like to respond to your last sentence, your English is
just fine...  thanks for the thoughtful note.  I have one comment
(see below)

    Yes, this is the point.
    
    I basically supports RIPE's consensus.
    First, requiring 776 customer sites as criteria of getting /32 
    is a too high barrier and should be relaxed in any way. 
    Maybe, anyone can agree with this so far.
    
    Next, "any LIR can get /32 until 2000 /32 per a region" 
    is almost OK, but one problem may be
    to use the existing definition(s) of "LIR" mainly defined for IPv4. 
    In ARIN region, you can become a LIR if you pay some money as far as 
    I heard. This may include an large enterprise.
    One concern here is that this rule will give /32 end users even
    if they are large enterprise. We should avoid this as Thomas suggested.

In the ARIN region, it is true, anyone can become a member of ARIN
by paying a fee.  to get address space, however, you have to give 
quite a lot of justification.  Every ARIN member does not have address
space.  I just want to make sure that's clear.  I am a member of ARIN
as an individual.  I paid $500 for the year 2002.  I have no address space
and I am not what you'd call an LIR.
