An end site is defined as an end user ...
Legal people make a lot from interpreting such documents so it's best not to stare too long at them.
As such, it appears to be a catch 22. If your organization has transit and PA space, apparently, as I read the policy, that would preclude you from qualifying as an LIR
Anyone starting out will be an end site, if that meant you could only ever be an end site then there'd be nothing but end sites. Skip to the not an end site section and meet those requirements instead.
I think we definitely need to review v6 allocation policy and improve its consistency and ability to meet the needs of the community if v6 is to make real progress towards broad adoption.
I think working on the technical deficiences others have outlined would help more. brandon

Agreed... However, the letter of the law in the policy still should be revisited to express that intent.

I don't think these are mutually exclusive. I think IETF should work on the technical deficiencies of the protocol. I think the RIRs and ICANN should work on the policy issues. I see no reason those efforts can't proceed in parallel. Owen -- If it wasn't crypto-signed, it probably didn't come from me.
