[address-policy-wg] 2015-05 Discussion Period extended until 13 May 2016 (Last /8 Allocation Criteria Revision)

Dear colleagues,

I'd like to reiterate my objection to this proposal. Anyone who thinks
another block of 1,000 addresses is going to help them float their business
is in my opinion delusional (because the next step would be an extra 2,000,
then 4,000, ..). The problem is not that you're getting a /22 - the problem
is that we're out of space, never to come back. I also object to the notion
that new entrants who joined the game recently have any more entitlement
than new entrants 2 years from now.

The final /8 policy in the RIPE region has been, in my opinion, a
remarkable success because there's actually still space left to haggle
about. What does need fixing is the fact that there are a few obvious
loopholes that are now being used to contravene the intention of the
policy, and are being used as a rationale for this proposal.

Kind regards,

Remco
(no hats)
