Hi,
But instead of running into exhaustion in "2 months" we can handle it to be "2 years". Please, take in account the time between quotes as an example. An example, perhaps, but a wildly unlikely one if I understand¹ your proposal correctly. The LIRs in the RIPE region have over the last 18 month gathered up a large unmet demand. Therefore I expect that if we do create a new small pool for "normal" allocations, it will be gone pretty much overnight. It'll be like a lottery, just like when a radio host announces «we've got N free X for the first Y people to call us». I do not believe this would be useful to the community.

This new pool would have a minimum allocation size of /24 and no maximum size. Have I understood correctly? I would be against a policy proposal in this form. It would unequal to

All members that already received a /22 could receive a second one, all members that have not requested a /22 from the last /8, could request a /21.
