I support this proposal.

Three cosmetic comments; it would be nice if they could be
incorporated. If not, they should _not_ hold up this process in any
way.

* "In the event that this /16 remains unused at the time the remaining
addresses covered by this policy has been distributed, it returns to
the pool to be distributed as per section 5.1, and this section is to
be automatically deleted from the policy document." should read "have
been distributed", instead.

* "IXPs holding other PI IPv4 space for their peering LAN (i.e. they
are seeking a larger assignment), must return their old peering LAN
resources back to this pool within 180 days of assignment." uses IXP
once and Internet Exchange [Pp]oint otherwise. Might clean that up
just as well. Similarly, "Internet Exchange point" should be replaced
with "Internet Exchange Point"

* "Clear contractual arrangements are recommended and are mandatory
for PA space." This could be worded more clearly. Are they recommended
generally, but mandatory for PA? If yes, PI have contractual
requirements as well so this could be mentioned here as well. An
alternative interpretation would be that contracts are both mandatory
and recommended for PA space which would be somewhat nonsensical.
