Getting back on-topic - how can this be? I thought only service providers (with downstream customers) could get PI v6 space. Isn't this what policy proposal 2005-1 is about? Can someone (from ARIN?) explain the current policy?
Its my understanding that large company (or large university) can become LIR too - they'd have to show that they have complex network infrastructure with multiple semi-independent departments and/or subsidiaries with main company's IT department serving as network provider for those units.
However there is a difference between company becoming LIR and becoming member of ARIN and paying annual membership fee (based on network size) and company applying for single IPv6 assignment (as per 2005-1) and not having to pay membership fee then (only one-time fee for assignment) and not being able to participate at ARIN as a member. Tho from what I have read of 2005-1 this requires a AS . That requires a memebership unless there is some loophole around that I have not seen ?
Can you site the section in 2005-1 that allows an entity to pay the onetime fee & not have to pay the yearly fee ?
