<p class="MsoNormal">Hi, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there any news on this proposal yet ? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2012-04">https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2012-04</a> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to see this proposal binned rather today than tomorrow.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">No disrespect to Nick for putting this in writing and bringing this discussion in front of us, but opening the gates will not solve the problems most companies face, if they notice IPv4 shortage…
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Especially since it will only delay their pain for a very short period.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And the problems for new entries (after that short period) for not having v4 available in the (not too far) future for NAT64 or alike technologies weigh much higher imho than providing cheap PI resources.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So in short, I don’t support this policy and I would like to have this archived for future references asap.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kind regards, <o:p></o:p></p>
