I thought it addresses the entirety of the last /8. If there is
something missing, please describe what is missing. I know you have said
that APNIC doesn't have 16000 or so members *today*, but we are not
talking about today, we are talking about when there is no more IPv4
address space available from IANA. What should we be doing to augment
the proposal?
  
It's possible that it's just my misunderstanding rather than needing augmentation.

Here's my reading of the proposal

We get down to the last /8 and the following happens
.  a /<minimum allocation> is given, or available to all existing LIRs
.  a /<minimum allocation> is available to all new LIRs
.  a /16 is reserved for future use.
.  a the rest, if there is a rest, is used or allocated to.......   yeah this is the bit I don't see explicitly described.

Does it sit there waiting for new LIRs to get their /<minimum allocation> or is it able to be allocated under current guidelines?  If so then cool, but the proposal might like to say that.

Randy replied with "could you describe which part(s) of the /8 it does not cover?"
I think it's just a matter of clarification. 

Is this what proposal 62 boils down to?
When APNIC is down to the last /8:
    /16 gets reserved
    All existing LIRs get one more /<minimum allocation> and thats it.  Don't come back for any more ever, no matter what the reason, even if we have some more not being used.
    Any new LIRs get one /<minimum allocation> and thats it.  Thats all you get.  You can't have anymore, don't ask.  Even if there is some of the last /8 still unallocated.
    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.

Or is the last line?

    Any other space within the last /8 should be kept aside for new LIRs for a period of <some time period>, after that it should be allocated to existing LIRs under current allocation guidelines.

Which ever one (and I don't particularly care which), I think should be explicitly stated.
