Re: [sig-policy] prop-057-v001: Proposal to change IPv6 initial allocati
Guangliang Pan said the following on 29/1/08 16:11:
Respond to a question - "How many organisations have been denied v6
space under the current proposal?"
There has been one IPv6 allocation request that did not initially
include a plan for 200 assignments. An APNIC hostmaster contacted the
organisation, which was able to include a plan for 200 assignments in
its second email to APNIC.
Thanks Guangliang!
I suppose the question we don't know the answer to is "how many
organisations simply don't bother applying for IPv6 space because they
believe they MUST deploy to 200 sites within 2 years".
Note my wording, as that is the implication from the problem that the
authors of the proposal want to solve.
Has anything like this been asked in any recent member survey carried
out by KPMG? I'm curious, because in my extensive travels I don't find
anyone who is put off because they have completely mistaken the current
IPv6 allocation policy, yet both Jordi previously and the current
authors are somehow implying that there is a serious problem (without
supplying any evidence).
