It seems to me that the problem lies in section 5.1.1. Initial allocation criteria, and exactly here: b) have a plan for making sub-allocations to other organisations and/or End Site assignments within two years.
So, is the problem that "a plan" is not sufficient if it is not "verified" and the "bad guys" know that the chances for having it verified are too small?
The "bad guys" could just add assignments and the plan is verified. The fundamental question is, why would "bad guys" want to stockpile IPv6 in any way that would hurt us as a community? What would be the ROI for them? I see this as a non-problem.
Do we need some text about "recovery if not announced and used" ?
No.
Other ideas?
Just leave it as it is until we actually have a problem or can see a problem arising.
Remember that the problem is not only about scarcity. This extra space may be used "intermittently" for bad or even criminal activities and we have a responsibility on that as a community.
Well as long as filtering and RPKI is not perfect this can be done with a lot of other address space without leaving your contact data with the RIPE NCC.
