prop-164: Allocations of IPv6 Resources longer than a /32 with a nibble boundary alignment

Proposal text prop-164-v001
Objective

This policy change will reduce the minimum allocation size from a /32 prefix to a /36 prefix. This is to reduce the minimum amount of resources which a member has to apply for, which in turn reduces the allocation of resources which are unnecessary and allows them to maintain more accurate Whois/RDAP records.
