[Wg-ipv6-guide] (ToC 7) Initial allocation criteria

[Toshiyuki Hosaka <hosaka@nic.ad.jp>]

Dear all,

Please refer to the draft below regarding initial allocation criteria.
This section could be important to reduce the 'psychological barrier'
of the requestor.

Your comments are highly appreciated.

7. Initial allocation criteria

According to current IPv6 policy, to qualify for an initial allocation 
of IPv6 address space, an organization must:

   a) be an LIR;
   b) not be an end site;

    - An end site should receive IPv6 address from LIR(s) under current 
      policy, because there is no portable address assignment policy 
      in IPv6.

   c) plan to provide IPv6 connectivity to organizations to which it
      will assign /48s, by advertising that connectivity through its
      single aggregated address allocation; and

    - An LIR is encouraged to aggregate multiple /48s which will be
      assigned to other organizations into /32 (or shorter where
      an LIR receives multiple /32s).

   d) have a plan for making at least 200 /48 assignments to other
      organizations within two years.

    - An organization must provide a 'plan' to make at least 200 /48
      assignments, but is not necessarily required to 'commit' to do 
      200.

    - For example an ISP which has more than 200 customers can meet 
      this criteria (d) if it plans to provide them with IPv6 
      connectivity service.
