Re: [sig-policy] prop-081: Eligibility for assignments from the final /8
Prop-081 doesn't in any way violate the concept of
give everyone a single small block of IPv4 from the final /8,
It's just that under current final /8 policy it's impossible
to make IPv4 addresses assignments to end users,
we propose that change in order to makes it consistent in
dealing with allocation and assignment in the final /8 phase.
Current IPv4 policy permit assignments as well as allocations,
I don't see any extra administrative work load will be incurred
if we keep that consistence in the final /8 phase.
I also don't think we should exclude assignments in the
final /8 phase in order to reduce administrative work load.
