The current policy says that to "qualify for an initial allocation of IPv6 address space, an organisation must [...] plan to provide IPv6 connectivity to organisations to which it will assign /48s by advertising that connectivity through its single aggregated address allocation". The implication is that an LIR must plan to announce its allocation to the public Internet. However, the wording is vague and leads to uncertainty for those requesting space and those evaluating requests. I would like to see the policy updated to use crisp, clear, unambiguous language. If there is a consensus that unique, public addresses should not be available to private networks that will not connect to the Internet then that should be stated clearly. If that is not the case then the reverse should be made clear.
