[address-policy-wg] 2013-03 New Policy Proposal (No Need - Post-Depletion Reality Adjustment and Cleanup)

I think that perhaps we should all read the latest draft of the RFC2050 update:

https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2013-03

       1) Allocation Pool Management: Due to the fixed lengths of IP
          addresses and AS numbers, the pools from which these resources
          are allocated are finite.  As such, allocations must be made
          in accordance with the operational needs of those running the
          networks that make use of these number resources and by taking
          into consideration pool limitations at the time of allocation.


This proposal seems counter to the above, as well as in conflict with
2050 itself.

I note the author has tried to provide counter arguments, but to me
they are not
sufficient to persuade me to support this proposal.
