[address-policy-wg] ripe471 - language query

Just a quick query w.r.t the ripe471 document relating to a conversation
I had with another registry today who were confused by the use of the
language:

Section 5.3 (Additional Allocations) states:

"An LIR may receive an additional allocation when about eighty percent
(80%) of all the address space currently allocated to it is used in
valid assignments or sub-allocations."

Whereas Section 5.4 (Sub Allocations) states:

"LIRs are still required to demonstrate about 80% usage for all their
allocations."


The question is therefore, do we mean:

- - That all the address space currently allocated to the registry should
be summed and if the registry consumes more than 80% of this they
qualify for an additional allocation

or

- - That all allocations the registry has must each consume more than 80%
before the registry qualifies for an additional allocation.

and if so, could the language in the document be cleaned up to avoid
such ambiguity?


Dave.
