Suggest Revised Text, just tweaking no real impact

Allocations from the last /8

The distribution of the last /8 held by the RIPE NCC will be done as 
follows:

1. Unforeseen circumstances pool

Once RIPE NCC recieves the final /8 from IANA, a /16 will be held in 
reserve for some future uses, as yet unforeseen. The Internet is a 
disruptive technology and we cannot predict what might happen. Therefore 
it is prudent to keep a /16 in reserve, just in case some future 
requirement makes a demand of it.

2. Allocations for LIRs from the last /8

On application for IPv4 resources when the RIPE NCC the final /8 has 
been allocated by IANA to RIPE, LIRs will receive IPv4 addresses 
according to the following:

- LIRs may only receive one allocation from the final /8. The size of 
the allocation made under this policy will be no larger than a /22. 
Other space may be provided to the LIR should additional space outside 
of the final /8 be available at the point of the request.

- LIRs may apply for and receive this allocation once they meet the 
criteria to receive IPv4 address space according to the allocation 
policy in effect in the RIPE NCC service region at the time of application.

- Allocations will only be made to LIRs if they have already received an 
IPv6 allocation from an upstream LIR or the RIPE NCC.

3. Final Exhaustion

In the event that the unforeseen circumstances pool /16 remains unused 
in the time the final /8 covered by this policy has been distributed, a 
/15 will be returned to the main pool to be distributed as per clause 2.

Once this /15 has been used then the final /15 will also be returned to 
the pool s should an unforeseen usage have not been found.
