Forgive me if I have missed consensus (or perhaps an epiphany), but  
doesn't this suggestion rely on the arguments from PDP number 2006-01  
being solved ?
I oppose the proposal as it stands, but I support any efforts to  
encourage v6 adoption, and also recognise that this means fair and  
available v6 PI policy must be adopted.
I would prefer to see global consensus that any organisation with a  
requirement for address resources can request, and have ONE block of  
PI.  My rationale is that it should be extremely clear that  
originating one prefix at the end-site edge is both intended, and  
desirable.  The RIRs should have permission to sanction additional  
blocks where seen as operationally imperative.  Organisations should  
also have to justify a technical requirement for PI rather than PA,  
and additionally, should interface with the RIPE NCC via an LIR.
This does not stop organisations registering additional, 'shill'  
organisations for the purposes of requesting more PI, but if someone  
is that desperate to design flaws into their network, there is little  
that can be described in a policy development environment that will  
help them.
Best wishes
