Point 2.2 already states what is to be understood by scares resources. All RIPE NCC issued IPv4 and 16bit ASNs.
In that case, there is a conflict between the proposal and the impact statement. 2.2 seems to suggest that the NCC unilaterally declares a resource "scarce" and the impact statement says the Community does that - presumably through policy. Why not re-word 2.2 to be the authoritative list of "scarce" resources and any additions/rmovals can be done via the PDP? rgds, Sascha Luck
