[...] But if it gains more support to put it that way, go ahead!
Exactly. I'm sure we all could discuss these topics for decades without finding full agreement. Fortunately we don't have to, all we have to do is to converge on a text that has consensus as acceptable (or better). It's to that end I proposed the two amendments, which I hope will bring Malcom and Filiz on board with the proposal: 1) retain the philosophical "fairness" goal from our current policy, and 2) make LIRs that want to obtain their "last /8" /22 pledge to use it for their End Users (a continuation of current practice). I understand that you're mostly interested in the second-hand transfer market, so I'd like to point out that 2013-03's impact on the transfer policy will not change due to these two amendments. Even though you may find them unnecessary, I hope you'll also find them acceptable, and not something that would prevent you from continuing to support the overall proposal.
