Subject: prop-051: Global policy for the allocation of the remaining
IPv4 address space
The rationale for the new value is:
- Today IANA allocates 2 x /8 as a normal allocation to every RIR
as that is what they are asking as a gentlemen agreement, so the last
allocation will have the same size as the actual allocations.
Will LACNIC's and AfriNIC's next allocation request be for 2 /8s?
The answer, from LACNIC side is Yes. Additionally, according with our
projections, all the RIRs will be requesting 2 /8s for at the moment
that this policy will be applied if approved.
And
are slow landing conservative policies in place to handle these two /8s?
And if not, when will they be developed?
Obviously No. You already know the answer. There are not such
policies in any region.
IMHO those policies are necessaries. In fact LACNIC has made a
proposal to the other RIRs to promote a better coordination among our
communities for facilitating some kind of collaborative effort in
designing proposals in that sense. What I think would be very good.

Let's set N=0 and move on to a more useful discussion as to where we go
from 2010 onwards. There are bigger problems facing us than trying to
preserve the past.
Philip: with all my respect, I think that you are talking about 2
different things and we have to face both. How to deal with IPv4
exhaustion and, as you said "where we go from 2010 onwards". They are
not incompatible things.
