[address-policy-wg] [policy-announce] 2012-04 New Draft Document Published (PI Assignments from the last /8)

Dear Emilio & Nick,

Thanks for the update on the proposal.

I would like to state that I'm not in favor of this policy change.

Obviously it is very appealing to open up the last /8 also for end-user assignments, even with the additions of limiting only to a /24 max.

But I'm afraid that there will be a run on the last possible addresses and that there won't be any IP space left for new LIR's if they require it.  ( Do I even dare to state anything about routing table explosion because of it ? )

For me this is a no-go policy change.

IPv4 is over in a couple weeks in the RIPE region. Let's move on.

Regards,
Erik Bais
