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.
