1) I've some issues with the language of the proposal, namely the
idea of "mitigating wastefulness" by prescribing or proscribing
certain concepts and practices either by the NCC or the
community. I believe that everyone runs their own network at the
end of the day and neither the NCC, the membership nor the
apwg community are qualified to judge individual members' network
design decisions.

2) There is some issue with transparency if the text is removed
as proposed insofar as there is, then, no guidance whatsoever on
how an alloc request >/29 is judged. Perhaps this can be
addressed in the NCC Impact Statement.

3) I'm inclined to support this proposal, however, if these
issues are addressed.
