First, it’s not clear to me that this is a stretch from existing RIPE policies, but perhaps you could explain the gap.

But otherwise, I agree I could have stated that better.  I was aiming at a policy that empowers the NCC to provide such temporary or research allocations as they deem appropriate so long as they don’t impact address space or routing table growth or otherwise risk security of others.

Having a fixed block for such purposes would suit that policy but is already into the details.
