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

Hi Randy,

I fully agree with you.

My company (A2B Internet) did a lot of PI registrations in the last couple of years and it would be very nice to have this available for a couple more months for possible customers in the next couple months.
However, having said that, the reserved space in the final /8 is to allow '*new* entrants' and that is also how I view this.

So although it might not be in the best interest for my company (PI registration business wise), I still don't agree with the proposal.

Regards,
Erik Bais
