Hi,

while the current policy does permit the /22 allocation be made from smaller blocks it does not in it's current form allow smaller allocations.

I do support this policy as it does allow more new comers to the market to get at least a /24 which is still better than nothing.

I think that any consecutive changes to this policy regarding the size of allocations will not be brought to light unless the prefix filters will allow smaller routes.

About the financial viability I think that from the RIR standpoint it doesn't pose a problem as the RIR should have the same amount of work with a LIR that has /22, /24 or any other allocation.

Best regards,
Uros Gaber

Hi,

I don't think that we have to change current policy at all.

Current policy allows to get /22 divided to smaller blocks, so it doesn't have to be changed just because of this.

My personal opinion on IPv4 exhaustion is that it would be better to come sooner than later. Any means of slowing exhaustion down would just prolong the IPv4 agony. Reaching zero free pool is the only way.

Please stop trying to conserve any more IPv4 addresses, IPv4 has reached a dead-end, let it die peacefully.
