[ppml] Last Call for Comment: Policy Proposal 2003-4

[bmalm at idngh.com]

According to qualification criterion d) in section 5.1.1, the IPv6 applicant
must "have a plan for making at least 200 /48 assignments to other
organizations...."
How do we ensure conformance to the plan presented, at least to an appreciable
extent? Are we going to make conformance a condition for further IPv6 space
acquisition? Just thinking aloud...

Cheers...
