	Wrong link (I would ask to add a note to that old link)

	This is the correct one:

http://www.lacnic.net/web/lacnic/manual-4

	Allocations criteria to end users refers to RFC6177.

	So, I do not know in which part we disagree. But it does matter, the
important fact is that ISP can chose what allocation to provide to
en-users (as long it based in need and under certain technical criteria
-RFC6177-) and it is not dictated by the RIR.

Regards,
