This policy won’t help that goal. Applicants who have to jump through a hoop will ask “how high”, do the bare minimum (or outsource the task to someone who already has v6 and makes a business of announcing others’ netblocks just long enough to comply), and then stop there. This draft policy would very rarely help convince anyone to meaningfully deploy IPv6, and would not be worth making life difficult for everyone else.
