did it say anything about price? i missed that? i did not think the AP WG dealt with pricing; so it would be pretty strange.

You're correct in saying that APWG does not deal with pricing, but it's a bit jesuitical not to acknowledge that the practical impact of this policy change will be a dramatic increase in RIR-allocated ipv4 addresses.

but we can postpone the inevitable so folk have time to get in the lifeboats.

There is no amount of time that will be enough.

so do we want to do it in a controlled and managed fashion or chaotically?

I genuinely don't think that this proposal will impact much on this either way. Nick
