Wether that helps you depends on your network - criteria for getting IPv6 allocations boil down to "you must be willing to assign IPv6 networks to a substantial number of third party sites". If you're assigning to research institutes, universities, and so on, the criteria should be easily met.
Goody goody. We are an ISP for about 200 institutions, several of which are universities who again provide for a large number of institutes. We will of course provide IPv6 for any institution interested. This should solve our problem.
That's what I meant - if you're serious about IPv6, fulfilling those criteria is really doable. I want to repeat this (for the records): even if the policy talks about "plan to connect 200 sites in the next two years", it does NOT mean "if you only manage to get 190, RIPE will take your allocation away!". It's mean that you - have plans to "build something real" - demonstrate (by documenting) that you're really working on it - that means "not register 20 /48s immediately and nothing ever after" And if after 2 years you can show that you have been growing something like "slowly but steady" and will 200 "eventually", this is expected to be *fine*.
