yes, when they apply.
Any other space within the last /8 is then kept aside for future new LIRs.
It will never be available to existing LIRs. If you want some of it, get a new LIR.
yep
Great. Thanks for clarifying that Randy. It's certainly straight in
my head now.
If a line such as "Once an existing LIR has applied and been allocated
their /min from within the last /8, they are not eligible for any
further IPv4 allocations from APNIC, regardless of how much unallocated
IPv4 space may remain from the last /8" was included in the proposal,
I think it would make it clearer.
The rest I agree with. By the time we get to the last /8 it's all too
late anyway. It's just important to get all the rules decided for the
cage-match some providers will be fighting over the last numbers.
