leo,
can you explain why the rirs need a time window from the iana (36 months) so much larger than lirs need from the rirs?

Randy, I read it that IANA don't see RIR's needing more than a /12 in a 36 month period - thus a /12 would at least meet the RIR's needs for the next 36 months.
Seems like a much better idea than faffing about handing out a /23 every few months.

Jon, Just to be clear, the policy as proposed is coming to you direct from the NRO, IANA has had no direct input in it's creation. I first saw this draft document myself on the APNIC sig-policy list on 4 August. http://www.apnic.net/mailing-lists/sig-policy/archive/2004/08/msg00003.html That said, we're very happy that the NRO has offered this submission as a starting place for the public dialog, and we look forward to seeing how the process plays out. While it's certainly not IANA's job to _set_ policy, we are happy to offer the benefit of our experience to anyone who asks. :) Doug -- Doug Barton General Manager, The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
Doug, You are mistaken. The NRO has not submitted a proposal to anyone. Leo's message said that the NRO had published a proposal. The proposal did not originate from the NRO. It originated in the APNIC community. Anyone, worldwide is invited and encouraged to participate in any of the policy fora (email list and public policy meeting) conducted by the various RIRs. After consensus is reached in all of the regions the NRO will then become involved by being the mailman in forwarding it to the ASO Address Council so that they may submit it to the ICANN Board for adoption as a global policy. After the policy is adopted, ICANN, performing the IANA function, will allocate IPv6 address space to the RIRs in accordance with this policy. Ray
