I'm also against this proposal.

LIRs should be able to request their v6 address space according to their 
needs. If some (i mean the majority) still didn't do it, they should be 
able to do it in the future based on real numbers, and thus getting the 
proper IPv6 allocation size (which might not be a /32...).

Would this policy, if accepted, be OK with the IANA and the other RIRs?
What would happen if a RIR community tried to pull a last+preemptive 
IPv*4* allocation for all its LIRs? ;-)

Seriously... i'm convinced the original idea behind this policy had a good 
intention, but let's focus our efforts in explaining why do we need an 
IPv6 Internet, and in really doing it!
Enforcement policies (like this one) will not cut it.


Best Regards,
