[address-policy-wg] 2017-03 New Policy Proposal (Reducing Initial IPv4 Allocation, aiming to preserve a minimum of IPv4 space)

Greetings!

I Oppose this proposal. Minimum routing block is /24 and new LIR will be
too difficult to build network in different locations. Most new LIR are
small companies. For other half of the companies - they will have to
route a lot of small block as 24, routing table will grow high.
Nothing useful in this case. I wish this allocation should be greater,
les say /21 as in apnic.

If everybody force IPv6 - then better to distribute IPv4 and go to v6
With current rate of Ipv4 distribution ipv4 will be enough for many
years. And we should take in mind that time to time RIPE get Ips back to
reserve pool from the closed companies and etc.

For people who always care about IPv4 reserved the answer is next -
there big Ipv4 reserved space "for future use" according RFC, my opinion
that people should look in that direction. I support it too.
