[address-policy-wg] IPv4 waiting list policy

Heya, Good (well, not really) to see that we are not the only ones with
this experience, As i have stated above we are very small as well and are
in need of the allocations for our business, for us too the annual fees and
administration regarding them were an absolutely deciding factor in why we
held off for so long.

However, that doesn't mean I am against the fee. quite the opposite due to
what it is used for.
Welcome to the gang I guess?

However, I was informed that we should be seeing allocations hit us no
later than the end of January as things look right now. I
can't guarantee that is the case for you. But hopefully it is.

Regards,
Mathias W.
