I would like RIPE to stop doing justification handling for IPv4. Just stop. It's wasted time for everybody.
For what it's worth, I agree fully, and I've already prepared a proposal that does exactly this. It's awaiting review by the WG chairs before being formally submitted. If you or anyone else would like to (p)review it to see if it is in a shape you could support, or even help co-author it, that would be much appreciated.
(By which I'd ask you to please stay away from a PI policy that will do things like "but only in the first /9 of the last /8, not in the second /9" - *iff* the community decides to bring back IPv4 PI, then let's do it for good and for all the remaining space. Doing it for "but not for the last /x" is exactly what we have now - let's not do *that* again).
I totally agree.
Partially to this end, my proposal also takes the opportunity to clean up the last /8 policy - making it "the everything policy" - by merging it into or replacing the main policy sections. (It does not seek to actually change the mechanics of the last /8 policy though, only to do some cosmetic reconstructive surgery. This means the two "last /16" reservations for IXPs and unforeseen circumstances remain.) -- Tore Anderson Redpill Linpro AS - http://www.redpill-linpro.com
