Maybe something along the lines of "you can have a second /22" after a 
certain period of time if you only have a /22.

The rationale behind this could be that RIPE NCC got more address space 
than anticipated when the last /8 was made.
According to 
https://www.ripe.net/publications/ipv6-info-centre/about-ipv6/ipv4-exhaustion/ipv4-available-pool-graph
RIPE NCC currently have 17.7 M IPv4 addresses left - which is slightly 
more than a /8

NRO June figures:
https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nro.net%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2FNRO_Q2_2015.pdf

Afrinic:      2.7
RIPE NCC: 1.08
APNIC:      0,69
Lacnic:      0.16
Arin:         0.1         now down to 0.0015

So if somebody want to pursue this I suggest looking a t
https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-642
and create a proposal using the Policy template in Appendix B


But it is really time to get serious about IPv6.
(Since you can do Google and Facebook on v6 - what more do you want:-)
