Leo,

thanks for the numbers. How about the rest of the information requested?

This data, which I would guess the TF had access to, puzzles me when I 
re-read your summary posted earlier, specifically point 3.

3. No longer assign PI (Portable) address space to End Users

  - There some support for to this point. The issue of Root DNS
    Servers was raised but it was noted that all Root DNS Servers
    operating in this region already have address assignments.

89% of the requests seems to be an indication of a need for this type 
of assignments, yet there seems to be "some support" to end it.

Can we have a look at the arguments that were discussed about this 
subject?

Can we, in general, have more background on the arguments that were for 
and against the different options during the TF's work?

Yes, it is helpful, but more data ought to be released for a proper 
understanding of the problem to be possible, I believe.
