Re: [address-policy-wg] [policy-announce] 2012-04 New Draft Document Published (PI Assignments from the last /8)

But I'm afraid that there will be a run on the last possible addresses and that there won't be any IP space left for new LIR's if they require it.

i can not speak to the intent in the ripe region. but the principal intent of the final /8 policy in the apnic region was so that *new* entrants could get one small piece of the pie. in the years when we have a mixed 6/4 internet, folk will need a wee bit of v4 space for things such as nat64 and other ways face the dual stack world. pissing it away in greed and/or arrogance is not responsible to our children. randy
