Re: [address-policy-wg] 2006-07 Discussion Period extended until 17 January 2007 (First Raise in IPv4 Assignment Window Size)

Hi Leo,

Several people raised concerns that new LIRs may not have sufficient experience to make good decisions with a /21 AW. This is a valid concern but I do not believe a series of incremental AW raises would provide the most effective support to new LIRs. Instead, I have modified the proposal so that new LIRs would get a /21 AW six months after receiving their first allocation. They would need to send in requests as now until then. This should ensure that the LIRs most in need of support receive it, while reducing the administrative overhead for the vast majority of LIRs.

Sounds like a very good solution/proposal to me. Thanks! Sander
