Ito-san, You raise some good questions.I have been observing the current discussion on "reviewing the current policies and address allocation practices". Then, I felt that we should resort what a real issue is. Why do we need to change HD-Ratio?To ensure that we really have plenty of IPv6 addresses to last us 100+ years. Consider IPv4. Have we already run out? Some say effectively yes, because now that we see that we will run out, addressing policy has changed (to increase conservation) and it has become harder to get them. Hence, we've been forced to change our behavior in response to a decrease in the supply.
Thomas:I don't agree with your perception regarding IPv4 policies what seems to be the base of your argument here. Maybe it is more difficult to get IPv4 addresses now than in the earlies `90, but I don't agree that the policies developed in the RIR's forums in the last couple of yesars are more conservatives. On the other hand, there are many people (including myself) that share the concern taht it could happen the same that already happened with IPv4 during the early deployment of Internet, causing unfairness in the size of allocations of IP addresses.
I tend to agree with the idea behind your draft, but not with that you said here.
