Or are we lobbying for the criteria as a LIR to be relaxed...?
Actually there are no big hurdles for becoming a LIR. Prove your existance, fill in paperwork, pay startup fee, done. This alone doesn't give you an IPv6 allocation yet, though - the biggest hurdle there is that you have to claim a plan to supply 200 customers with IPv6. As it is only a *plan*, it's possible to achieve for most LIRs that actually provide addresses to customers. OTOH, there's an ongoing policy change proposal to drop the 200-customer rule. Please read up the specifics of the proposal in the archive, and voice your opinion...
