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.
