in a membership organisation we have to treat all members equal when it comes to distributing the final IPv4 networks. You cannot take the right to request the final /22 away just because a member had no need so far to ask for it. This should have been put in the policy a few years ago (like "you have 4 years to request your /22") , but you cannot change this today working backward.
We can change the rules for *future* allocations and have done so a few times in the past... (along that same line of argument, one could have said that "you cannot deny future participants a proper needs-based *large* allocation" when going to /22). There is no set-in-stone "right to request the final /22" - there's an IPv4 allocation and assignment policy, which sets the rules for future allocation/assignment requests, and that currently(!) permits allocation of a single /22. OTOH, I'm not sure if I see a pressing need here - LIRs that haven't asked for their /22 yet because they don't need it might just never show up, because they don't need it... gert -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
