But as you say if we do mandate this the effect is trivial. The question remains what to do when "the internet" - or some part of it - decide to filter on /23. Do we modify the policy again to make / 23 the minimum ? Are we going to allow people to hand in their original /24 assignment and grow it to /23 ? Groet, MarcoH
