How difficult is it for a NREN to produce 200 valid assignments? Take 200 students who want to participate in IPv6 and potentially have more than one network, and you're there. The assignments might not be *needed*, and they might be done for the sole reason of getting the allocation, but it's certainly in accordance to the guidelines, and thus you do meet the guidelines.
Thus you fulfil both the spirit and the wording of the guidelines. I don't see a problem with this.
The new policy shouldn't be seen as the "policy to end all policies". It should be seen - I believe - as an interim reply to APNICs "cry for help" at RIPE-40. I believe it's more important that we do this right than that we follow the exact wording of an interim policy. If we take into account Gert's very sensible comments, I don't think a serious provider of IPv6 service is going to get any real problems. Peter B. Juul, Uni�C (PBJ255-RIPE)
