At least, I see one problem with the existing policy, i.e. if I'm an
end user network of IPv6 (IPv4 too) and I may not do any further
assignment but I need to do multihoming, I can only get a /48 portable
assignment. However, some IPv6 networks filter out announcements
longer than /35 (or other prefix length). What can I do now?
This proposal does solve this problem (or if there is change to
portable assignment policy).

Now I wholeheartedly support the deployment of v6, however currently
I fail to see the actual requirement for this proposal. Current
wording is purely for a *plan* for 200 v6 customers. I have plans
for a lot of things. Reality is often quite different to those plans.
I don't see this proposal directly promoting the *deployment* of v6.
If members feel that the biggest obstacle in the way to deploying -
in any capacity - v6 was justifying an initial allocation, then how
are they going to get on when it comes to actually implementing it.
Are there any members out there who have not been able to obtain v6
space under the current policy? If there is demonstrably a real
problem here then I am happy to change my view on this policy.
Otherwise I'm going to expend my efforts on actual problems.
Cheers,
Jonny.
