When every LIR has had their /22, there might still be address space available, right? I interpret 1 a and b as we will have a deadlock then because the same LIR can never receive another allocation.
Well... - this is the whole *point* of the "last /8" policy - to give people that want to start a business "with Internet things!" a few years in the future the chance to get a few IPv4 addresses to run their NAT64 boxes (and whatever other migration technologies need IPv4 addresses) on. (IPv4 will still run out, though, and nothing we can do will change that). - and this part is not being discussed at all by the policy proposal here - this is to clarify that the "last /8" policy will *stay* in effect after it became active, even if some address space is returned and the NCC ends up having again more than a /8 available. While this interpretation is in line with the current policy documents, it's not explicitely written in the documents, and this proposal attempts to clarify this.
