Will LACNIC's and AfriNIC's next allocation request be for 2 /8s? And are slow landing conservative policies in place to handle these two /8s? And if not, when will they be developed? > 2) With 2x/8 the RIR will have an allocation size big enough to > implement more conservative policies such as slow landing. LIRs will have to define this. What will they be? JPNIC proposes N=1 with more conservative allocation policies. Who will define those? Everyone is deserving in their own eyes. It becomes a "lawyers win, everyone else loses". > 3) With N=2 we cannot say that we are boosting RIR shopping. It is > not a big enough pool. I don't see that. People will shop whatever value of N>0 is chosen. :-( 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 --
