There are several ways of trying to determine when to kick in the smaller 
assignment windows:

- static dates (currently used in the proposal)
- date based on amount of address space left
- variants of date based on historical run-rate (i.e. move to 9 months when 
there is an estimated 9(+X) months of address space left, based on previous 
run-rate)

Would it be possible for RIPE to provide some information on their current 
run-rate?
