> Situation in other RIRs
> -----------------------
>
> AfriNIC: no specific policy
>
> ARIN: /48 minimum assignment per POP
>
> LACNIC: /48 minimum, /32 maximum micro allocation to critical
> Internet infrastructure operators only
>
> RIPE NCC: minimum allocation size at time of request
>
>
> Proposal
> --------
>
> It is proposed that section 5.8.2 of APNIC document "IPv6 Address
> Allocation and Assignment Policy" remains except to modify the last
> sentence to read:
>
> "The maximum assignment made under these terms is /32 per operator."
