What if people realize IPv4 addresses become scarce and there will be a massive run on the last available pool, then the final date of exhaustion will be a lot sooner than projected.
I think 2009-03 is a decent proposal, but should be based on on the pool of available address space trough time and not using fixed dates. For example:
There are several ways of trying to determine when to kick in the smaller assignment windows: - static dates (currently used in the proposal) - date based on amount of address space left - variants of date based on historical run-rate (i.e. move to 9 months when there is an estimated 9(+X) months of address space left, based on previous run-rate) Would it be possible for RIPE to provide some information on their current run-rate?
