Oh I could do that. But then... What the hell are policies for anyway! That's the scope of this thread really. Policies are, or should be, a good thing. Otherwise they are just a bad joke. Is that what RIRs want? Fine. Stefan

That is why trying to put a 'marketing' plan TODAY for 200 /48's within 2 years is kidding ourselves.
No, it's kidding RIPE. And since that is exactly what RIPE asked for in their policy, go do it, get your IPv6 allocation, and quit complaining about your inability to write an accurate plan. The policy document does not specify that your plan will be checked for accuracy after 2 years.
Still, I don't see why there needs to be any limits at all or any specific numbers in a plan. If someone wants to become an IPv6 LIR, just give them a /32 with no questions asked. RIPE should only need to scrutinize requests for shorter prefixes.
