Should 64,000 subnets (a /48) or 1,0000,000 subnets (a /44) not be enough :), the approach taken by the University of New Hampshire appears to be to become a Local Internet Registry (LIR) in its own right.
A couple of handy references should you be thinking of taking that approach are the steps to becoming a RIPE NCC member:
<http://www.ripe.net/lir-services/member-support/become-a-member>
...and the allocation and assignment policy for IPv6:
<http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-512>
We will, of course, be happy to route any address space you obtain as an LIR, and if you choose not to come to the RIPE meetings, please consider giving your membership votes to someone you trust to exercise them responsibly.
All the best,
Rob
