Hi Jordi You are right. The policy comparison document is updated every six months in collaborative work among the 4 RIR we are just about to released the newest version soon. LACNIC is right now applying a different IPv6 initial allocation policy. The rest of the document remains the same as the original common IPv6 policy. This issue was discussed during LACNIC V in last november and implemented in february this year. LACNIC community had consensus about get rid of 200 /48 assignments, demand the announcement of the entire IPv6 block before the 12 months and asked for IPv6 based services before the 24 months. It is important to mention also that LACNIC do not allocate IPv6 address to closed networks at this moment. This topic has been also a point of discussion among the differentescommunities. I add the text for the initial IPv6 allocation policy at LACNIC To qualify for an initial allocation of IPv6 address space, an organization must: a) Be a LIR or an ISP; b) Not be an end site (end user); c) Document a detailed plan for the services and IPv6 connectivity to be offered to other organizations (clients) d) Announce a single block in the Internet inter-domain routing system, aggregating the total IPv6 address allocation received, within a period not longer than 12 months. e) Offer IPv6 services to clients physically located within the region covered by LACNIC within a period not longer than 24 months.

Hi Mohsen,
http://www.apnic.net/docs/policy/rir-comparison.html Looking at the LACNIC site, I believe this is not updated. I think same for ARIN.
Regarding the critical infrastructure, I fully support a policy change on this in RIPE.
Regards, Jordi

==> If it is deemed that it would be worth proceeding now to the Policy change (instead of simply clarifing it as it was initially intended), let me please draw your attention to the following web page at APNIC site, which compares RIR implementations of the global IPv6 Policy and which may be useful as a start:
http://www.apnic.net/docs/policy/rir-comparison.html
By the way, you can have a look at section 3.4.1 ("Critical Infrastructure") which describes, AFAIK, somtehing which is implemented only in APNIC region and which would be useful for ccTLDs in Europe (for instance, .de and .fr to name a few of them).

Mohsen.
