This proposal looks much better having the requirement for a plan to  
advertise any allocated IPv6 space.

I would prefer that that the "plan" to advertise was in fact a  
"requirement" to advertise, however I'm happy either way.  (And I  
hope that the 'plan to advertise' is not misconstrued in the same way  
that the 'plan for 200 assignments' in current policy seems to have  
been...)

At a minimum, an IPv6 advertisement requires some basic IPv6  
implementation by an LIR - which is a good thing.

Cheers,
Jonny.
