Why not just check for AAAA record for their main site and mention of

It may put enough pressure for them to actually roll it out.
Let's not put our marketing departments in the loop. Some of them get
scared (for nothing).
They have to deal with that anyway sooner or later. Also it might become
an additional pressure, "our rivals have this strange thing called IPv6
on their site, can we do it too?".
I don't support this proposal in it's current state though. It won't
help IPv6 rollout as it is, it can actually make it worse because some
LIRs will be able to postpone it even more. But if combined with
additional incentives...it might just work.
Some tiny bit of (free) IPv4 is the incentive. I can't find better. Just
need to make sure the condition is well-written.
There is also a problem with IPv6 roll-outs that it's usually (almost
always?) bigger guys, but smaller companies will lag behind for years if
not decades. Small incentive for small companies to keep up ?
Although ideas of only giving /24 to those who don't need more, and
probably just /24 after some arbitrary depletion state (/10?) would be
great as well. Anyone writing a policy for that yet ?
That was part of the initial idea (see
https://ripe70.ripe.net/presentations/93-Last-_8-allocation-size.pdf )
Thanks ! Apparently I missed that.
Then I think it needs to be considered again, with or without additional
allocation.
