I do oppose this proposal. Reasons:

- No real problem solved, the allocation request procedure is trivial
  and doesn't usually (or even often) require support from legal folks
  and "company leaders" as far as I'm aware.

- Possible billing category upgrades

- Allocation of non-insignificant resources not requested by the LIR

- Possibly insufficient allocation sizes being allocated, with
  limited space to grow (/29) into without renumbering. LIRs should
  make up their mind how much space they need _before_ requesting
  resources

- If policy implemented, less empirical insight into how many
  organizations actually start to care about IPv6 (step 1: allocation
  assigned, step 2: announcement of prefix in BGP)

Best regards,
Daniel
