+                   IPv6 Address Allocation Management
+
+Status of this Memo
+
+   This memo provides information for the Internet community.  This memo
+   does not specify an Internet standard of any kind.  Distribution of
+   this memo is unlimited.
+
+Abstract
+
+   The IPv6 address space will be managed by the IANA for the good of
+   the Internet community, with advice from the IAB and the IESG, by
+   delegation to the regional registries.
+
+Statement
+
+   The IPv6 address space must be managed for the good of the Internet
+   community.  Good management requires at least a small element of
+   central authority over the delegation and allocation of the address
+   space.
+
+   The Internet community recognizes the Internet Assigned Numbers
+   Authority (IANA) as the appropriate entity to have the responsibility
+   for the management of the IPv6 address space.
+
+   The IANA will rely on the advice of the Internet Architecture Board
+   (IAB) and the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) in the
+   management of the IPv6 address space.
+
+   The IANA will delegate to regional (and other) registries the task of
+   making specific address allocations to network service providers and
+   other subregional registries.  Individuals and organizations may
+   obtain address allocations directly from the appropriate regional (or
+   other) registry, or from their service provider.
+
+   Delegation of address space by the IANA is not irrevocable. If, in
+   the judgement of the IANA, a registry has seriously mishandled the
+   address space delegated to it, the IANA may revoke the delegation,
+   with due notice and with due consideration of the operational
+   implications.  IANA will make every effort in such a case not to
+   revoke addresses that are in active use, unless there are
+   overwhelming technical reasons for doing so.

+RFC 1881           IPv6 Address Allocation Management      December 1995
+
+
+   Any revenues (such as transaction fees) received with respect to the
+   IPv6 address space should be used only for expenses related to
+   registry activities, and not to subsidize any other activities.
+   There will be no charges for the address space itself, only fees to
+   recover the registry costs.
+
+   Any situation in the management of the IPv6 address space that leads
+   to monopoly control or predatory practices must be avoided.
+
+   The IANA will develop a plan for the initial IPv6 address allocation,
+   including a provision for the automatic allocation of IPv6 addresses
+   to holders of IPv4 addresses. IANA will also develop mediation and
+   appeals procedures concerning delegation and revocation.
+
+Security Considerations
+
+   Security issues are not discussed in this memo.
