I've been contacted about this off-list, so let me clarify.

The current policy is more than just "200 /48's".  To be more 
specific, you have to make the allocations to *other organizations*.

From RIPE policy, which is identical to the "global policy proposal" 
in this aspect:
----
5.1.1. Initial allocation criteria

To qualify for an initial allocation of IPv6 address space, an 
organisation must:

    a) be an LIR;

    b) not be an End Site;

    c) plan to provide IPv6 connectivity to organisations to which it 
will assign /48s by advertising that connectivity through its single 
aggregated address allocation; and

    d) have a plan for making at least 200 /48 assignments to other 
organisations within two years.
