Re: Proposal to lower the minimum allocation size
-->
I agree. ISPs should be eligible to receive allocations after we lower
the size, so I assume they no longer have needs for portable
assignments.
If a substantial number of ISPs are unable to receive allocations,
then this implies that the allocation criteria is too strict, and we
should review the allocation policy.
My concern is that if we allow portable assignments to ISPs as well,
the distinction betweeen allocation and portable assignments becomes
very vague and there will be no point in having two seperate policies.

-->At least in the case of Japan, over 85% of LIRs utilize /20 or
more, so the waste is not a big issue.
How about in other countries?
