RE: [hm-staff] Re: [GLOBAL-V6]The list of current Issues in IPv6 Policy

["Ray Plzak" <plzak@arin.net>]

It is clear from the policy criteria that the policy was meant for the
RIRs to only provide /32 to transit providers.  No discussion was done
about private networks as the RFC 1918 concept was not to apply.  It
would appear to me that there needs to be a policy proposal to address
the private network issue in which globally unique private addresses are
required for networks using IPv6.
