I'm in favour of accepting the policy as-is. With kind regards, ir. A.W.

Michael, I was hoping we could reduce the number of options to consider for 2009-01, not add to them. Oh well...
So how about just having these two possibilities:
1) Withdraw 2009-01. It's dead. Heroic measures to revive it and achieve a global policy are not going to have a happy outcome. So accept that situation and give up.
2) Continue with 2009-01 with a view to aligning things with the other RIRs except ARIN. Perhaps that might persuade ARIN to reconsider. It's also good PR because we're committing to making recovered space available for the greater good, even if that recovered space will probably just exist as an abstract concept. Does anyone here have a spare /8 to hand over?
The UK MoD and the "UK Government Department for Work and Pensions" appear to be the only /8s assigned to individual End Users in this RIR area. I would like to see the proposal go ahead as-is. ARIN's refusal to implement it is unfortunate, but that should not deter the RIPE community from aspiring to do what is best. Nick
