That could be envisaged by doing a membership survey. However, I don’t think it would be very useful for an R&D department of an RIR to do qualitative research on “the problems that are preventing members from deploying IPv6”. The issues have been discussed extensively and we all know what they are: lack of business case, availability of IPv4, lack of interest from decision makers, etc.
It would be more useful to invest resources in building tools around the allocation and usage of IPv6 such as http://6spots.afrinic.net/ <http://6spots.afrinic.net/>. 
Such tools can be used by the same decision makers to come up with strategies and plans in the deployment of IPv6 in their respective countries.
