Where this happens it tends to be because universities plan to assign a 
/48 to each student or staff "customer" with a connection to the 
university network.

In the RIPE region these are time limited and intended for real 
experiments rather than ISPs that want to try out IPv6.

The experiment needs to be documented, whether "in the form of a current 
IETF Experimental RFC (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2026.txt see Sec. 
4.2.1) or an 'experiment proposal' detailing the resources required and 
the activities to be carried out".

Additionally, the results of the experiment have to be "published free 
of charge and free from disclosure constraints."
