Hi Randy,
Thanks for raising this.
The proposal webpage http://www.apnic.net/docs/policy/proposals/
prop-034-v001.html provides links to policy proposal on IPv6 Portable
assignment for multihoming in the other RIRs.
I've copied/paste ARINs Policy Proposal 2005-1: Provider-independent
IPv6 Assignments for End Sites states:
--snip--
6.5.8. Direct assignments to end sites
6.5.8.1. To qualify for a direct assignment, an organization must:
a) not be an IPv6 LIR; and
b) Qualify for an IPv4 assignment or allocation from ARIN under the
IPv4 policy currently in effect.
6.5.8.2. Direct assignment size to end sites
Organizations that meet the direct end site assignment criteria are
eligible to receive a direct assignment. The minimum size of the
assignment is /48. Organizations requesting a larger assignment must
provide documentation justifying the need for additional subnets.
These assignments shall be made from a distinctly identified prefix
and shall be made with a reservation for growth of at least a /44.
6.5.8.3. Subsequent Assignment Size
Additional assignments may be made when the need for additional
subnets is justified. When possible assignments will be made from an
adjacent address block.
--end snip--
Jordi Palet submitted his proposal to the remaining RIRs after the
ARIN XVII meeting.
Main difference I picked out against ARIN is the minimum assignment
size of /32 in Jordi's proposal and also is submitted as an interim
solution. He also proposes to have a reclamation period for
previously assigned address space under this policy.
Jordi as proposer may want to clarify other bits.
The status where each RIR region is at is as follows:
ARIN - awaiting Advisory Council last call review
RIPE - in discussion phase
AFRINIC and LACNIC - Discussed recently in their Open Policy meeting.
Decision made to discuss further in their public mailing list.
APNIC - discussing in mailing list

Situation in other RIRs
All the RIRs are currently discussing a similar proposal.
can someone characterize the similar proposals in the other
rirs? i.e. how are they similar and how do they differ from
this one?
and could someone also summarize the current consensus on
these proposals in the other rirs?
