[6bone] proposal for transfer of 6bone address management responsibilities to RIRs

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ]

Hi Gert,

No this wasn't my point. Sorry not to make it clear before.

I'm not talking about a "regular" individual, as they will get it from the ISP, and the market is plenty of a good competition to
regulate it. Nevertheless, this is IPv4 world, and I'm not quite sure if we will get the same case with IPv6 ;-)

I'm talking about an SME or corporate, that may not need to work with an ISP, because they can need direct connectivity to a Telco.
They may qualify for a prefix, but they don't want to become a LIR, why they don't have the right to get a prefix. The case is
difficult to see now, because the IPv4 restrictions, but I'm sure it will happen more and more with IPv6.

Regards,
Jordi
