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.
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. Robert
