So, let me get this straight:

In order to facilitate growing your business beyond three customers,
you've submitted a RIPE policy proposal that'd let you get eventually
another 3*/22 from the free pool. This would then allow you to grow your
business to having 8-12 customers. Right?

Assuming 2015-05 does go through: when your prospective customer number
13 is knocking on your door, should we then expect you to return with
another policy proposal to change 2015-05 /20 ceiling to /18?

Assuming that proposal also goes through: should we expect you to return
again, asking the RIPE community to extend the /18 ceiling by another
two bits, so that you can take on customer number 49?

And so on...

In any case, it is inevitable that at some point in time the RIPE NCC
will simply not have any IPv4 address space to give you, regardless of
what the policy allows. What will you do then, exactly? And why aren't
you already doing it today?
