I am of mixed opinion on this policy. I agree that it should be quite 
easy for an organization to receive their own IPv6 space. And I was 
fully supportive until I got to "many smaller enterprises are unlikely 
to adopt IPv6 (currently perceived as an already tenuous proposition for 
most users given current cost/benefit)". Since there's still major 
barriers to deploying IPv6, despite this being over a decade since it 
should have happened, the amount of popcorn I am able to consume as an 
observer over the next few years if smaller enterprises find even more 
reasons to not adopt v6 (such as the one this policy wishes to correct) 
is vastly increased. I like popcorn, and so I'm opposed on that basis alone.
