Marco estimated that the pool would last for around five years under the current policy[1]. For the sake of the argument, let's assume he's spot on, to the exact day. [1] https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/address-policy-wg/2016-May/011247.html That means that on the 11th of May 2021, a new entrant will receive the very last /22. That last entrant could then be - like you - thanking the "old LIRs" - yours included - for showing restraint in not passing 2015-05, giving him the opportunity to request and receive his /22. If on the other hand 2015-05 passes, that /22 would obviously no longer be available for allocation on the 11th of May 2021. An (at that point in time) "old LIR" - maybe yours - would instead have received it as an additional allocation under the 2015-05 policy. The new entrant certaintly wouldn't be thanking anyone for their selflessness. Tore
