Again this is not true. It is explicitely said in the policy that any<br>
organisation (regardless of its size) can be allocated /18 within a 24<br>
month period during exhaustion phase 1 and /22 during exhaustion phase<br>
2. Anyone can always get more allocation as long as they justify 90%<br>
utilization. I fail to see how it prevents growth for anyone. However it<br>
does ensure good management of our ressources.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>So can a organisation in phase 1 request a /18, go and roll it out, and come back 9 months later and request another /18? With proof of usage and all the other requirements. Even with proof of having rolled out both IPv4 and IPv6 to everyone. It does not seem so from my reading. It seems that organisation have to then sit idle until the 24 months are past before they are allowed to request again. Or get it from somewhere else even though AFRINIC might still have addresses left.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I think that is the point. For a small organisation a /18 might last a lifetime, but not for a bigger organisation. Limiting the maximum size you can request at a time, already make things fair. Adding a time period makes it unfair towards bigger organisations again. <br></div><div><br></div><div> <br></div><div>Regards</div><div><br></div><div>John</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

The policy doesn't punish success. In any case, it encourages carefully<br>
planned growth<br>
<br>
Why would anyone disagree with that? Is IPv6 not the common sense option<br>
for any growth plan?<br>
<br>
