This proposal is not aimed at preventing the complete runout. That will 
happen. This proposal aims to preserve some tiny resources for new 
entrants in this community, by trying to extend the time period until the 
runout occurs. We cannot "measure" its benefits until the runout occurs, 
and we can then count how many new entrants did get a tiny portion of 
(new, never used before) IPv4 address space.

Yes, a /23+/24 or a /23 would be a step in the right direction. If, at 
global level, a /25 or a /26 was acceptable (routing-wise), then that 
would be even better.

I would also like to draw your attention to the last section about 
"Alignment with other RIRs": LACNIC already has this in place. ARIN 
has something, which isn't really exactly the same, but the main goal is 
very similar. :-)
