However the IPv6 allocation policy is revised, it needs to work well with a PI assignment policy. If the only criterion for receiving a /32 IPv6 allocation is that you become a RIPE NCC member then you create a situation where networks wanting PI space must demonstrate a need for anything more than a /48 but anyone willing to pay €3300 can get thousands of times as much space without needing to show any need.
One of the goals for IPv6 address space management is:
3.6. Fairness
Which is why a policy should *always* have a "Justify the address space" clause in there when the requester wants >/48*. That is the real thing that a RIR has to do: verify (as far as possible blabla) that the request really is valid and that the address space will be used. Greets, Jeroen * = with >/48 I mean a /47, /46... /40 etc, the more/less smaller/larger stuff is confusing every time :)
