As Sebastian Wiesinger wrote in members-discuss: "The IPv4 pool will run out soon and after that there simply will be nothing to grab. In hindsight I wish we had just given out everything without reserving something for newcomers. I don't think it had the intended effect." I don't see this either, hence, while I agree that there should be some wording about the way the (already implicit) waiting list will be implemented/handled, I reject the proposal as-is due to the reduction of the assignment size. Reducing the assignment for new LIRs from /22 to /24 neither helps the community, nor the late-coming LIR in question. IPv4 is gone, we pray every other minute, so we should act accordingly.
