Fwd: [narten@us.ibm.com: PI addressing in IPv6 advances in ARIN]

Apologies for the circuitous, tangled path of forwarding below. I wasn't in the meeting, so I can't comment on the support that Thomas describes.
If end-site PI assignments for anybody who wants to multi-home come to pass at ARIN, and if the other RIRs follow suit, then there would seem to be a limited opportunity for future deployment of shim6 (or, at least, substantially reduced demand for it).
There are still the basement multi-homers who prefer not to become RIR members, of course :-)

I'm sure many of you have already seen this... but finally the community 
has spoken: PI /48 for end-sites :)
Looks like we're almost there... many thanks to everyone, Kevin and Owen who 
voiced this issue at ARIN meetings!

FYI, at this week's ARIN meeting, there was agreement to move forward
with a (slightly modified) version of
http://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2005_1.html, "Policy Proposal
2005-1: Provider-independent IPv6 Assignments for End Sites".

Process wise, I believe there will be an updated proposal and formal
last call. But there was clear support in the meeting to move forward
on this policy.

This is a significant step, as no PI addresses had previously been
available for end sites in IPv6.
