So you're claiming that any IPv6 PI applicant without your political connections to the IESG, ARIN, IANA, etc. can get a /32? I don't know exactly how many subnets/hosts ISC has, but I seriously doubt ISC could even get a PI /48 if you weren't buddies with the folks making allocation decisions.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The initial allocation size for IPv6 was set by the public policy process to be /32. Association with various Internet bodies has no effect (either way :-) on the received allocation size. From <http://www.arin.net/policy>: ... 6.5.1.2. Initial allocation size Organizations that meet the initial allocation criteria are eligible to receive a minimum allocation of /32. I have no public comment regarding the ULA proposal, but want to be clear that it is ARIN's goal to apply policies fairly and equitably to all existing and potential members of the Internet community. I am not aware of any complaints in this area in the history of the organization, and so I'm definitely interested from hearing from anyone who feels otherwise. /John John Curran Chair, American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 8.1 iQA/AwUBQZZ7jYdtk0FNoZyOEQL7+gCgslGVJSFLsXAlBcgnTz6QmVD0vygAoIj0 RFK60W+OsZvN+4WCnqXP9zva =xTvs -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
