Draft Policy ARIN-2025-6: Fix formula in 6.5.2.1c

Problem Statement:

Sections 6.5.2.1 explains the initial IPv6 ISP/LIR allocation in a way that is 
difficult to follow and the formula in section (c) does not match the remainder 
of the text.
 
Policy Statement:

In 6.5.2.1c, replace:

"This calculation can be summarized as /N where N = P-(X+Y) and P is the 
organization’s Provider Allocation Unit X is a multiple of 4 greater than 
4/3*serving sites and Y is a multiple of 4 greater than 4/3*end sites served by 
largest serving site."

with:

"This calculation can be summarized as /N where N = P-(X+Y) and P is the 
organization’s Provider Allocation Unit, X is a multiple of 4 greater than 
4/3*log_2(serving sites) and Y is a multiple of 4 greater than 4/3*log_2(end 
sites served by largest serving site).

Time Table for Implementation: Immediate
