Thank you for the information about PDP. I guess the process will
take much longer than we expected. Is it probable that an agreement
could be reached regarding an assignment of a block of IP-addresses
from the yet unallocated ranges? Has this question ever been raised
before?    

For example, we’d like to get address 2.2.2.2 – but if a similar
*easy to rmemeber address* is available from a allocatable space,
we’ll be satisfied with that too. Should we send a request for a
policy change or is it most likely not going to help reach a
consensus?

Ok, I see.  Is it technically possible to get address 2.2.2.2 when
this range 2.*.*.*  becomes publicly available for assignment?
