1) be an LIR - OK fine, we're an LIR.

3) plan to provide IPv6 connectivity to organisations - yes, we will certainly do that - to which it will assign /48s etc etc - no, we will never do that as all our customers are LIRs.
4) have a plan for making at least 200 /48 assignments to other organisations etc etc - no, we will never assign such space as all our customers have their own already.
According to the above, either 4 is false or 2 is false and you are simply an endsite. Might sound harsh, but that is it... at the moment...
Whait if I am (mainly) anIPv6 transit provider with 201 customers - all beeing LIR on their own: - I cannot get address space from my upstream because I have none or several depending on my size and definition of "up" - I cant make a plan to assigh 200 /48s since all my customers are LIRs on their own - I am hardly an end site ? how do I get adresses under the current policy ? If I cannot, how do we modify the policy to alow me to get adresses ? This is an excellent point to show were the addressing policies puts limitations on the structure of the ISP industry unless we are careful. -hph
