I am not aware of the RIPE practices with respect to IPv6 end-user =
assignments,=20
but in the ARIN region, ISPs/LIR's make assignments to end users =
based on similar=20
practices that the community adopted for ARIN=E2=80=99s end-user =
assignments. To my=20
knowledge, ARIN does not review these ISP IPv6 end-user assignments =
(except=20
after the fact and in aggregate if an ISP were to come to ARIN =
seeking an additional
IPv6 block due to utilization of the previous.) =20
Differences in policies between the regions is not necessarily any =

=E2=80=9Cproblem=E2=80=9D; it can just as easily be an appropriate =
reflection of different underlying=20
