| * Any RIR will be eligible for an additional allocation of IPv6 address space if an RIR has less than 50% of the /12 and an RIR's IPv6 address space is less than its established necessary space for the next 9 months period. During this situations, IANA will make a single IPv6 allocation enough to meet the RIR's established address space for 18 months. | | * Any RIR will be eligible for an additional allocation of IPv6 address space if an RIR has less than 50% of the /12 and an RIR's IPv6 address space is less than its established necessary space for the next 9 months period.

− | * The allocation of IPV6 addresses to an RIR should be announced an updated on IANA, National Resource Organization ([[NRO]]), the coordinating body for the 5 RIRs responsible in distributing IP addresses and AS numbers; and RIR respective websites. The administrative procedures to manage this process will be handled by ICANN and NRO. | + | * The allocation of IPV6 addresses to an RIR should be announced and updated by IANA, and the [[NRO|National Resource Organization]] (NRO), the coordinating body for the 5 RIRs responsible in distributing IP addresses and AS numbers; and RIR's respective websites.
