Hi,
2. It's not explicitly defined because it all depends on the address space returned. As I already indicated in another email, the long term effect of this is likely to be that all /8s managed by the RIPE NCC will have a minimum allocation size of a /22; and if we then run out of /22s or larger and need to hand out multiple smaller blocks (moving to clause 4) a few additional /8s might get *really* unlucky. But that will only happen when we're scraping the RIPE NCC barrel.
If we reach that point people can be glad they get *any* addresses. It's either this or no IPv4 addresses at all. They might hit prefix-length filters, but still, at least they have a chance to try something. - Sander
