Hello,
The next question is about the amount of addresses someone can get from the Final /8. I think we have a number of options here: a) Everyone gets one (and only one) fixed size block, as described in 2008-06
IMHO, the "one size fits all" approach doesn't seem the right way to go. The rationale in the original proposal was clearly directed towards IPv6 deployment and maintaining interconnection to the IPv4 world in this szenario. Even if I think, this is a sensible approach, we agreed 100%, that we don't want IPv6 related requirements in this proposal (and let me add, neither explicit nor implicit).
b) All requests are downscaled by a certain factor, as described in 2009-04
This sounds sensible to me. A downsscaling factor of 64 will give enough address space to stay in the allocation business for some (small "some) years. Newcomers are not discriminated, as it seems easier to me for a newcomer to deploy multiplexing techniques than for an established operator with a large legacy network. So the goal to keep newcomers in the game is achieved as well (and reinforced by the proposed argument (d) below).
c) We place a limit on the amount of addresses that can be requested per time slot (year?)
and/or (d) upon further allocation requests, the LIR has to demonstrate IP use under the downscaling paradigm (e.g., some kind of multiplexing technology is deployed for the last allocation).
