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

Hi Nick,

> It's also important to realise that the term "last /8" is now jargon for "all IPv4 addresses which the RIPE NCC handles after the exhaustion of the second last /8".
> In other words, it explicitly includes all IP addresses which are recovered by the RIPE NCC in future.

> By rejecting this proposal, this discrimination against End User requirements will be permanently enshrined in RIPE policy and that they won't get the opportunity to apply for reclaimed address space in future.
> Again, I find this to compound the implicit unfairness of excluding them in the first place.

The change in the policy is for assignments from the last /8.

If the policy would state that PI assignments are still possible from reclaimed address space (but not from the final /8 - the 185.x.x.x/8 range) I might reconsider.

In the current form I do not agree with the proposal.
