Hello I signed up as a LIR one year ago.
LIRs that opened after 14 September 2012 can only have a /22 allocated by the RIPE NCC as per the current policy, which gives them a disadvantage compared to older LIRs that were able to obtain at least a /21 regardless of their needs.
I will support this proposal exactly because of this. Of course in my opinion IPv6 will not be deployed when the IPv4 pool isn't empty, because every provider will buy IPv4 space or open other LIRs to get more IPv4 addresses instead of deploying IPv6.

Dear colleagues,
A new RIPE Policy proposal, "Revision of Last /8 Allocation Criteria", is now available for discussion.
The goal of this proposal is to allow LIRs to request an additional /22 IPv4 allocation from the RIPE NCC every 18 months.
You can find the full proposal at:
https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2015-05
We encourage you to review this proposal and send your comments to <address-policy-wg@ripe.net> before 18 November 2015.
Regards
Marco Schmidt Policy Development Officer RIPE NCC
