Similar to Aled's comments below, we are a small entity that is restricted to growth with a single /22. I believe the 185/8 should be restricted to new entrants but allowing recycled/returned address space (outside of the 185/8) to be allocated, providing the <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">LIR has less than a /20 in total.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">Kind regards,</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">Gavin</span></p> <p> </p> <div> </div> <p>On 2016-04-14 15:34, Aled Morris wrote:</p> <blockquote type="cite" style="padding-left:5px; border-left:#1010ff 2px solid; margin-left:5px"> <div dir="ltr">Peter, <div> </div> <div>I agree with the proposal because it makes it possible for recent entrants into the market to grow.
