Hi,

But instead of running into exhaustion in "2 months" we can handle it to
be "2 years". Please, take in account the time between quotes as an
example.

An example, perhaps, but a wildly unlikely one if I understand¹ your
proposal correctly. The LIRs in the RIPE region have over the last 18
month gathered up a large unmet demand. Therefore I expect that if we do
create a new small pool for "normal" allocations, it will be gone pretty
much overnight. It'll be like a lottery, just like when a radio host
announces «we've got N free X for the first Y people to call us». I do
not believe this would be useful to the community.

[1] To 1) leave the "last /8 policy" as it currently is (1 /22 per LIR)
for 185.0.0.0/8 only, and 2) allocate according to demonstrated need for
all other addresses that somehow finds their way into the RIPE NCC's
allocation pool (such as returned/reclaimed from LIRs, delegated from
the IANA Recovered IPv4 Pool, and so forth). This new pool would have a
minimum allocation size of /24 and no maximum size. Have I understood
correctly?

I would be against a policy proposal in this form. It would unequal to the members and would create more hassle for everyone (introducing the need based justification again, after we have just removed it...that would be the worst idea)

Considering the size of the available and reserved pool, and noticing that it's mostly going up and not down, I would, support a policy proposal that would change the /22 in a /21 (for example). All members that already received a /22 could receive a second one, all members that have not requested a /22 from the last /8, could request a /21.
