Re: [GLOBAL-V6]IPv6 Policy Proposal for LACNIC Region

Gert and all,

 Good points below in your comments and/or remarks, Gert.
Indeed basing any policy on fear is a very poor and unreasonable
approach.  It is also very clear in my mind that you are correct
as well that a minimum allocation policy that is based on
a subjective is and therefore when a requested to a regions
RIR that is subject to that RIR's judgment of a *intention*
to provide services to 200 (or more) from a service provider
for it's potential customers, will likely lead to real problems
of a political and in some instances a personal nature regarding
approval or lack there of.  Hence leading to likely unwarranted
damage that will wind up in a legal action or expensive, protracted
litigation.
