John (and others), Here's a piece of Gert's original message about the discussion at RIPE 41: | - any LIR that is established (has done all the paperwork, paid their | fees, and whatnot) and can document the need for one IPv6 address | can get a /32. No further justification required. I read that to mean that address usage/need would still have to be documented. Maybe it needs to be clarified... I hope this helps. Pierre.

There is the crux of the problem with the originally suggested change of allowing any LIR to get a /32. The RIR's under that policy don't look at need but at membership. So people who don't "need" them can still get them by becoming a member.
Of course "Need" is often a subjective thing to measure
