[address-policy-wg] "last /8" allocation size - community feedback request before engaging PDP

* "Radu-Adrian FEURDEAN" <ripe-wgs at radu-adrian.feurdean.net>

> 1. Separate pools or single pool
>   a. have a "last /8 pool" which is 185.0.0.0/8 (strictly one /22 per

B. KISS.

>   - none (keep the situation as it is today - our preferred option)
>   - something else (please detail)

Maintain the status quo.

> 3. Further allocation(s) (after the first /22)
>  3.1 introduce some minimum delay after the last allocation : 12 months
>  (Elvis' favourite) ? 18 Months ? 24 Months (my favourite) ? More ? Less
>  ? None ?
>     3.1.1 Does that mean one can get a new allocation every X months

>    3.3.2 Other  conditions ???

None of the above. My preference is to maintain the status quo - no
additional allocations. I do not quite see why we should change the
«last /8» policy which in my view has been quite successful (except for
the abuse that 2015-01 hopefully helps shut down).

If it ain't broke, don't fix it?

Unless we interpret «broke» to mean «exhausted». If so, c'est la vie.
