Hi,

I have been reading draft-azinger-cidrv6-00 and have a couple of comments on it for the list.

Firstly, in section 4, I think it would be useful to note that RIRs should aim to aggregate an ISPs second and later allocation with earlier allocations. I believe this is already done but it would be good to recommend it. I'd like to suggest the second sentence below be added.

"RIRs initial and subsequent allocation policy to service providers should allow for a minimum of 2 years worth of usage based on historical or business plan projections. Further, RIRs should implement practices that maximise the potential for subsequent allocations to be made contiguous with previous allocations."

Also, in section 10 it is recommended that "Internet Registries should severely limit or eliminate [...] PI assignments". There are obviously reasons for the current policies allowing IPv6 PI assignments but the potential for significant routing table growth has not been removed, so I wonder whether it would make sense to request the RIR communities to review the impact of PI assignment policies on the rate of routing table growth on a regular basis. 

Regards,

Leo
