That's the IPv4 tab, click on the link "Check IPv6". Which is where I got the list of criteria I already copied:
* Must be an LIR
* Not be an end site
* Plan to announce IPv6 within two years
"A Local Internet Registry (LIR) is an IR that primarily assigns address
space to the users of the network services that it provides. LIRs are
generally ISPs, whose customers are primarily end users and possibly
other ISPs."

>Forgive me if the thinking on this has changed, but my unerstanding was that for multihoming as an "end-user" is not an acceptable reason to get an IPv6 allocation. You are supposed to get some address space from both/all of your upstreams and some magic to make your servers dual-IPv6-homed on the addresses given to you from upstreams. There probably some RFC's on this and making it happen that someone else might be able to fill in the blanks ?

>>I have no idea if this is still in place, but APNIC policy seems to indicate that if you have an IPv4 allocation already (as ISP or end-user) then you'll get some IPv6 automatically. If you do NOT have an IPv6 allocation already then you need to meet the criteria just for IPv6, which are:

>>The idea being that allocation will be a lot more heirarchical (IR->RIR->LIR) to prevent a whole heap of /48's being advertised into the global routing table, so that it is mostly /32's and above to prevent bloat of routing tables (like has happened with IPv4 people advertising /24's instead of the aggregate larger prefix).

>>>I would have thought that if IPv6 adoption is an economic problem,
part of the answer would be to dramatically lower cost barriers to
entry for IPv6. I run a single-person small business, and i would
love to be IPv6 enabled, but because i'm multi-homed through two
consumer-grade ISPs, i can't do IPv6 without getting my own
allocation. The minimum price to spend with APNIC is $1,180 per
year to get this (disregarding membership fees for the time
being), and that gets me anything up to a /34. Cost from there
climbs rather rapidly, with /33 = $1,534 and /32 = $1,994. But
even the minimum is more than i pay for my entire year's Internet
access from my primary ISP.

pricing down the chain to /48, the costs would represent pretty
minimal barriers to entry for smaller organisations:

eliminating (or dramatically reducing) the associate membership

allocations within the reach of any organisation in any of the
economies that APNIC serves.
