Since the proposal was submitted to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List,
there has been a lot of discussion about the issues the proposal raised.
Jim Weyand recently summarised the alternative policy options that have
been discussed on the list. In trying to move forward discussions on
IPv4 exhaustion in the APNIC region, I encourage you to take a minute
to read his short summary at:

What do you think of the ideas raised? Do you support any of the ideas
raised?
