Hi Jordi,

I support the principle very much.  Practicality may be a different 
story, yes, must implement v6, however:

How do you determine/measure that?  I think your "In addition" section 
addresses this to a degree.

Merely advertising IPv6 space?  Sure, that's easy, but it doesn't mean I 
have to actually make that available to customers.

Re proposed text, the word "However, " doesn't add value, merely "Any 
IPv4 request must be done with a simultaneous IPv6 request if the 
requesting party does not already have IPv6 space."

This does also be the question, it seems 6.5.1.1.3 states that you must 
give /48s to end sites - we do distinguish between business and home 
users, for business we happily do /48 if so required (at least we 
reserve a /48 per site minimum), but for home users we generally do 
dynamically allocated /56 (but will again do /48 on request) - would 
this imply failure to comply with your proposed policy?  If so, should 
the proposed policy be adjusted, or 6.5.1.1.3?

For PI space (6.8.2.2.d) - what does deployed mean?

Kind regards,
Jaco Kroon
