	Your questions seem to be based on the RIPE NCC's Impact 
	Assessment, rather than on the actual text of the proposal.
	Because of this, I think it's better for me to leave it
	to the NCC to answer them rather than to jump in with
	reactions based on what I think they may have meant.

	I will make just one exception, where your question refers
	to a reaction from the NCC which pointed out a gap in the 
	proposal.

	As written, v3.0 of proposal 2012-07 didn't provide such an option,
	simply because the authors hadn't considered it.  NCC read this as 
	an obstacle to accepting such a request in future.  The draft 
	currently in preparation provides explicitly for this case, so that
	the obstacle should no longer arise.

	Thanks for asking, Erik.
