I want to end this discussion right here. The way RIPE makes its  
policies is very open, clear and not open for discussion. (At least  
not now and not on this list) You can find the PDP here: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/pdp.html 
. This working group will follow the PDP. I agree that the allocation  
of the last IPv4 addresses is an extraordinary situation, but we will  
not ignore our own rules because of that. If you do not agree with the  
PDP I think the RIPE chair (chair at ripe.net) is the right person to  
talk to.

Thank you,
Sander Steffann
