RE: [sig-policy] prop-096: Maintaining demonstrated needs requirement in transfer, policy after the final /8 phase {Unclassified}

"After [the final /8 phase starts] there is no requirement for any form of evaluation of requirements for eligibility."
Except of course that each APNIC Member is entitled to only one /22 (at most) from the final /8.

Since there are (currently?) many more /22s than APNIC members, the lack of any other eligibility requirement does not seem to me to be unduly dangerous, although the measure may be disadvantageous for NIR members who are not direct APNIC members.

On the other hand, we have run out of IPv4 addresses, there are no more, and whether the remnant gets handed out 'fairly' [for some value of 'fair'] or otherwise, we just have to get used to the fact that we are now stuck with this "IPv6 thing".
