I agree it can be seen as bureaucracy to ask people to justify PA assignments and sub-allocations now. However, I am not convinced that asking justifying 1 IP from a /22 as a new LIR at this very interesting times is a big deal. And removing a long-standing principle like "need based" should require a better argument than reducing bureaucracy. This
There is a better argument: We are in "Last /8", there is one more /22 per LIR, regardless of what "need" they may have or could demonstrate. Very soon now, IPv4 will be gone altogether and all the need in the world will get you exactly 0 IP addresses. Keeping "must demonstrate need" around in the absence of the premises it was based on is traditionalism for traditionalism's sake.
These are procedural NCC issues, I've already commented regarding reducing bureaucracy with the NCC, without doing a main curriery in the policy before. These two are not real address policy management related, they are "consequences" of the proposal, rather than positive or negative Rationales
We have no formal way of forcing the NCC to change the way a policy is implemented except by changing the policy. rgds, Sascha Luck
