Re: [GLOBAL-V6] New draft available: IPv6 Address Allocationand Assignment Global Policy

Arano-San,

thanks for your ideas, and I also want to say that your English is fine
(I had no difficulties at all understanding your proposal).  Of course, 
misunderstandings are a risk on a list with so many people from different 
language areas, so clarification is always a good idea.

My comments on your actual suggestion:

I like this idea.  I cannot speak for the "whole RIPE region", of course,
but I have the feeling that this would not conflict with the opinions
voiced by RIPE members on the last meeting (mainly the concern was "it
is too difficult for a startup or few-large-customers ISP to get IPv6
space").

I would drop the term "ISP", though, as this is very much undefined, and
just leave:

- Organization who assigns and registers /48s to organizations other 
  than itself

maybe add:

            ... and signs a contract that states that they intend to
  assign and register /48s to third parties, and that the /32 (or 
  whatever) will be void if no /48s for other organizations are 
  registered in one year (?).

This, of course, will not prevent someone from lying and then inventing
a handful of /48 registrations for non-existant customers.  But I agree 
with you that it will raise the barrier for "end users".
