Section d), assingning at least 200 /48's is new compared to previous RIPE-only draft policy.
This is a requirement that most NREN's can *not* honestly meet.
Amusing that the very people leading IPv6 deployment in Europe may well have to do so with 6bone address space, if the current policy is adopted.
The current policy *has been already* adopted. There is no "if" here. Nevertheless I don't buy this "most NRENs can not hoestly meet" paragraph - and again: there have been enough NREN representatives at the RIPE meeting, and I can't remember hearing loud arguments from them against the new policy. There have been questions, and concerns, but most of them have been convinced that the new policy is an improvement, and anybody serious about IPv6 *distribution* should be able to work with it, while others (non-distributing -> end sites, de facto) should be able to get IPv6 addresses as well today.
