<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Re: [address-policy-wg] Policy Proposal : "Run Out Fairly"</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> Hi Daniel, That was the purpose of my idea as well – this idea obviously is closer to currently set policy so the repercussions are likely to be better understood. It still leaves the option of ‘cleaning out the cupboard’ in one request, though. It just makes it harder to justify. (Which I’m fine with, by the way, any extra limitation is better than none at all) Best, Remco On 08-04-09 16:40, "Daniel Karrenberg" <<a href="daniel.karrenberg@ripe.net">daniel.karrenberg@ripe.net</a>> wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE>On 07.04 20:58, Remco van Mook wrote: > > Dear Daniel, dear all, > > First of all I support this proposal, and thank you for taking the time to > create it.
