Hi Aftab, Thank you so much for your comments!
| IMO The whole idea of this prop is to remove the justification barrier to | get more address space during initial allocation or at subsequent | allocation level. No change in minimum initial allocation (/32 for LIRs and | /48 for end-sites) has been proposed (or atleast I don't see it). So any | who doesn't agree with the positives of /29 which came out during the | discussion here doesn't have to pay higher amount.. APNIC fee for /32 is | AUD 1,994 and for /29 it is AUD 4,381 (provided that you don't have more | then /22 IPv4) Yes, this is what I would like to propose. I've revised my proposal text to be easy to understand (I believe...).
