[address-policy-wg] 2016-05 New Policy Proposal (Synchronising the Initial and Subsequent IPv6 Allocation Policies)

Dear colleagues,

I have read the policy proposal 2016-05 "Synchronising the Initial and Subsequent IPv6 Allocation Policies" and I would like to say that I support the proposal.

However, to me the phrase in 5.2.1 b "Can justify new needs (compared with the previous allocation)" is unclear.   Perhaps the unclarity is desired or deliberate?  At any rate I feel obliged to say that it is unclear to me.   

It could mean:

i) the rules (as described in section 5.1.2) are applied only to the newly required space
or
ii) the rules (as described in section 5.1.2) are applied to the existing and the newly required address space together

To me the correction of the "discriminatory situation" mentioned in the Summary would require that ii) is what is meant.

My support is not dependent on where're i) or ii) is intended.  But perhaps this perceived unclarity may need to be addressed at some stage.

Kind regards and thanks to the RIPE-NCC for their much appreciated work.
